Only sincere enemies of Lagos and mischievous people who want to score political points will praise or try to embellish ambode. In the committee of planners of these above listed projects, Ambode can't tell you that 90% of those completed projects were initiated by him. Out of vindictive attitude he made Lagos too difficult to live, he concentrated all Lagos resources on Epe axis while more important bigger and more economic towns on Badagry axis were neglected. |

Only if u even know what an ex-lagos governor benefits after service. Even people merely doing their jobs received commendation for it. Meanwhile, have ordinary Lagosians duly done their own governance “job” of fully and timely paying their taxes?! BTW, transportation is not all that Ambode has elevated in Lagos. The employment trust fund (LSETF) set up by his administration has given grants and low-interest loans to hundreds of SMSEs set up by Lagos RESIDENTS - i.e., all residents of Lagos are eligible regardless of so-called state of origin. The Ambode government also provides FREE education to over 1 million students in Lagos public schools - again, without regard to so-called state of origin. His administration has renovated scores of public schools (under the direct supervision of the Deputy Governor, who happens to be an Educator), trained and re-trained teachers, raise teacher salaries and provided some headmasters and principals with housing and/or car loans. In addition, the FREE Code Lagos initiative (to train a minimum of a million coders) and the Ready-Set-Work training and internship program has provided better and more employment opportunities for young graduates and the youth. Its FREE adult literacy program (Eko nke koo), for which it recruited and trained 1000 recent graduates as facilitators, had over 50,000 adult enrollees in just the first year. In health, the Ambode government has inaugurated the biggest sub-national contributory healthcare insurance scheme in Africa, renovated/upgraded primary healthcare centers, and has set up a first-class Critical Care Center at LASUTH (headed by a Professor from Howard University, Washington DC), among other initiatives. Furthermore, even though the Security Trust Fund was initiated before his administration Ambode has sustained and improved on it, including increasing death benefits to policemen killed in the line of duty to N5 million (and bear in mind that this is s federal police force which should not be the state’s responsibility in the first instance). One could go on and on, but suffice it to note that virtually all major projects by the Ambode administration often has a sign with the notation “Your Taxes at Work”!Nigeria is in such a sad state because we often mock and deride success and hard work, while elevating failures and rent-seekers.
