I'm confused...can someone please explain? What really is the ultra modern world class bus terminal? Is it the building?...or the canvas canopy? Either way... if the buses aren't electric buses..then diesel smoke would soon completely change the colour of the canopy terminus.

This is not a project to be inspected by a Governor. This is a project that a Local council should embark upon. Unfortunately this is Nigeria.

He's working and no one can change that fact! I was there yesterday and i was wowed at the rapid development he made in few months.

Nice

I saw this some weeks ago and it was lovely.

Ambode is really trying for Lagos. I just hope it will be maintained and secured free from Street urchins.

Perhaps when they are done with construction they put up a gate and fence there.

LeslieChow:
One thing I have noticed and like about Ambode is that he works all through the week. Weekends are included as part of his work day.

That is the drive of someone who wants to get things done. Keep it up.

Fashola too did that as Governor. I have a bros that works with Julius Berger who told me that Fashola does most of his inspections at night and during weekends.

Modern bus terminal with no seats ??

Thats what I was perplexed about as well?

GREAT.

Can you imagine them calling this modern? NO benches, NO t.v. with schedules. How much did this cost BTW.
I am sure no less then 100 million ngn bet me!

What did Fashola inspect? The same rode and roundabout Ambode has been inspecting in 2 years. All I saw Fashola inspect were other peoples schools, while they can never tell us what happen to the millions he pocked from the World bank for education. Or is it that very ugly Tinubu stadium, which is a big disgrace.

If you are talking about education, don't even go there at all. Using the LG I know very well, AILG, All those dilapidated schools in Tolu school complex were renovated. Some were completely knocked down and rebuilt. I know how CkC primary school Orodu used to be like before the rebuilding. Same goes for all the 20 LGs. Fashola did very well in the area of education.

Many of the things that we praise our governors for are the work and responsibilities of our LGAs as you rightly pointed out.
