Lagos State Has Witnessed Backward Development For The Common Man. by Aksonman: 11:43am On Nov 10, 2014
[size=13pt]Pre-1999 most houses in Lagos where serviced by pipe borne water supplied by Lagos state Water corporation. As a matter of fact there where public taps located in strategic parts of Lagos, such that houses without water could use such public taps.

Please,I'd like to know what happened to all that? Today, most Lagos houses are serviced by private boreholes. Public taps have been replaced by private charity taps made available (or for sale) by religious organisations in front of their compounds. 'Ab0ki water sellers' can be spotted in almost EVERY PART OF LAGOS STATE, rich or poor areas.

So ,the question is, how has the APC/Fashola administration truly benefited the masses of Lagos?
We all remember General Buba Marwa for introducing Keke as means of transportation for the common man and also for somewhat raising Ajegunle's profile. Over 30 years on, everyone still talks about Lateef Jakande's strides in Lagos for the common man, especially as it relates to housing-Jakande Estates.

What is the Lagos common man going to remember Fashola and APC for? Lekki Toll gate? Lekki bridge? Plants and flowers? Dilapidated BRT buses?[/size]
