Is he a lagosian?

Dont know why im not impressed with this guy..most of what he listed is what a normal public administrator will do in Kenya or South Africa, not to talk of the western world..So to me i cant categorically call them achievements will be more of duties.

Supo Shashore/Abike Dabiri to me would take Lagos to a level where Fashola would seem like childs play
