You see,all these 'positive developments' being shown in Nairaland,like the one above,is very important part of competitive federalism that Nigeria desires for. Unfortunately,some people that are close to government may not be visiting this site because if they do,by now,some states must have seen the need to do more works.
I see these recent posts of 'Positive developments' in some state as fortunate and show the zeal on part of Nigerian to witness development. I do not see this as tribal since it is only hitting the govt and not the people and i suppose that other nairalanders will see it that way.

Eko Ile! Eko Ile!! Eko Ile!!!
He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.You misfired big time with your futile attempt to make mockery of Akwa Ibom state. Akpabio remains the best governor in Nigeria today. If all Nigerian states were developing at the rate of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria will join the G20 in 10yrs time.

Well, while I am not holding brief for Fasola, I think he is like a one-eyed governor among the crop of totally blind governors we have in Nigeria.

If you all buy the fashola hype, i aint buying it. Fashola is a good Governor on Newspaper and his Government is not for the common man.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola
(SAN), Thursday commissioned a total of 103
new and rehabilitated classrooms at the Ikeja
Military Cantonment and Agidingbi Grammar
School with a plea to parents and guardians in
the State to get involved in the education of
their children.
Eighty-two of the commissioned classrooms,
encapsulated in eight blocks, were
rehabilitated and renovated blocks of
classrooms which were destroyed in 2002 by a
bomb disaster at the Ikeja Cantonment while
the remaining 21 classrooms comprising a
single block were commissioned at the
Agidingbi Grammar School in Ojodu LCDA.
In his address at the two events, Governor
Fashola told parents and guardians, “The
education of children is a necessary obligation
of parenting. It is not enough to leave it to
teachers alone. It is also not enough to
provide uniform, food and materials. You
must invest your time. You are the mirror
through which your children see life”.
“Please help them with their homework, visit
their schools without notice and see what
they are doing and what condition it is being
done”, the Governor pleaded adding, “If you
invest your time in their education, it will be
clear to them that you take it seriously and I
am certain that they will take it seriously”.
Governor Fashola said the commissioning of
the model classroom blocks was a
demonstration of his administration’s resolve
to implement its belief that people are its
greatest resource and asset pointing out that
every investment made in people “is an
investment for the future”.
“It is an investment that ensures the ability of
Lagos to renew itself as long as our people are
healthy, skillful and dignified. We have
resolved, as a Government, to develop a proud
people, a people who are confident and
dignified. We believe that only skilled people
and those who have dignity will be better
able to work with us to banish poverty from
our land”, the Governor said.
According to the Governor, such skilled
people, “will be able to employ themselves
and others to contribute in a competitive way
to the growth of our economy and society”,
adding that the event represented
Government’s resolve “to fight poverty in the
most enduring way known to our civilization,
through education”.
Noting that his administration has in the last
three years and eleven days worked very hard
to fulfill its promises to the electorate,
Governor Fashola declared, “”We have done
so much more than I can recount, but today
we have gathered here to hand over two sets
of projects that represent models of what we
have been doing”.
Of the eight blocks of classrooms at the Ikeja
Cantonment, Governor Fashola said, “These
eight blocks represent models of the 253
blocks consisting of 3, 885 classrooms across
the State that we have renovated and
rehabilitated”, adding that the single block of
21 classrooms in Agidingbi “represents the
model of brand new schools that we are
building across the State”.
“This represents the model of various designs
of 126 new schools block buildings consisting
1, 412 classrooms that we have built afresh to
add to the existing stock of classrooms in the
education sector of the Lagos Community”,
the Governor said adding that teachers and
students have already moved in and are
putting the schools to use.
The Governor said the day’s event was “a
strategic opportunity to communicate to our
people that we are making tremendous
progress in transforming our public schools to
destinations that students and teachers, who
are the prime stakeholders, will want to
attend, as the first critical step towards
rekindling interest of our children and
teachers in education”.
He said each of the rehabilitated or newly
built classrooms would sit not more than 50
pupils in the first instance adding, however,
that the number would be gradually reduced
in each classroom as the on-going auditing of
schools and classroom facilities as well as
their distribution across the State are
completed.
The Governor said with the successful
stemming of the shortage of classrooms, the
next step is to focus on efficient distribution
of classrooms “to ensure that there is a good
public school close to home of every child of
school age and within reasonable walking
distance”.
Governor Fashola expressed gratitude to
members of the Private Sector, who,
according to him, have helped, to close the
infrastructural gap in the education sector
through the “Adopt a School” programme of
the present administration adding that this
has helped to deepen Government’s working
relations with the Christian and Muslim
Missions who have invested in education,
adding that there has been noticeable return
of and improvement in standards.
Pointing out that investment in Education has
a long term yield curve in its return,
Governor Fashola declared, “Your
Government in Lagos State is not a
Government of quick fixes, because we are a
Government that that has found the courage
to investigate, yze and develop solution to
problems. We are comfortable with the
investment we make because the returns will
outlive us and secure the future of Lagos”.
The Governor said Government has also
embarked on a project that would deliver
desks and chairs to all public schools adding
that his administration has ordered 171, 119
desks and chairs in the first phase out of
which 171, 109 have been delivered while
Government intends, in the second and final
phase, to order 166, 219 “based on the data of
needs in all schools statewide that we
gathered”.
Government, Governor Fashola said, is also
undertaking policy and personnel reform in
the education sector by providing training for
teachers, rewarding performance, providing
incentive allowances and improving on their
classroom management capacity and skills,
adding that Government is also using sports,
vocational clubs, holiday jobs, school debates,
Spelling Bee programmes as part of strategies
to make school attractive to young people.
On the issue of national examinations,
Governor Fashola expressed joy that
tremendous improvement is being recorded in
the number of successful candidates in the
State since 2007 pointing out that whereas 5,
080 students, representing 7.58 percent of the
candidates for NECO Examination passed with
five credits in Mathematics and English in
2007, the number increased to 6, 840 students
or 10.41 percent in 2008 and 11, 432 students
or 18.41 percent in 2009.
He said while it is the usual thing all over the
world for students to be weak in some
subjects and strong in others, the State
Government is, however, “working on
strategies that will help us assist weak
students who just require more attention
adding that in the past, there were remedial
colleges which offered such assistance to this
category of students.
In his welcome address at the two events, the
Commissioner for Housing, Prince Dele
Onabokun, said the present administration
has more than proved itself capable of
meeting the educational needs of the State
adding that the quality of infrastructure being
provided in the sector can compete with any
such infrastructure worldwide.
He said the rehabilitation of the Ikeja Military
Cantonment Command school was in line with
the resolve of the present administration to
deliver quality education to the people of
Lagos State .
Also present at the two events were the
Deputy Governor, Princess Sarah Adebisi
Sosan, , the Commissioner for Home Affairs
and Culture, Mr. Tunde Balogun and his Rural
Development and Chieftaincy Affairs
counterpart, Mr. Rotimi Agunsoye, other
members of the State Executive Council,
Special Adviser on Education, Dr. Elijah
Adewale, Permanent Secretary in the
Education Ministry, Mrs. Omolara Erogbogbo
as well as other top Government
functionaries.

Though I wouldn't rate Fashola bad but average.He runs an elitist government.
Secondly his government is dictatorial in nature & finally his government doesn't have any program of any sort to help alleviate the sufferings of the larger chunk of lagosians.
