Things For Sanwo-olu To Focus On When He Becomes Governor by COMPAQ(m): 1:29pm On Apr 21, 2019
I was just sitting here thinking and I came up with my personal things I'd like Sanwo Olu to quickly address once he becomes governor:

Complete unfinished projects such as the lagos Airport road, badagry expressway, the okokomaiko marina rail line, oshodi interchange, onikan stadium and the yoruba cultural center. (this is in he assumption that they won't be finished before Ambode leaves office

Address refuse in a smart and holistic way. Personally I think its about time the government forced coca cola, Pepsi and makers of pure water to form a spv to be responsible for recycling plastic waste in lagos. Majority of the waste in our gutters is made up of soft drink and water bottle plastics, pure water satchets and food containers. If the companies refuse to do so then Sanwo Olu should ban such single use plastics in lagos. The clogging of our gutters by these plastics is a major cause of flood.

Also address traffic in a comprehensive and holistic manner. From other modes of transport, indiscipline on our roads, state of roads, number of cars on our roads etc. With real will and creativity, traffic in lagos can be considerably improved.

Remove the street urchins and hawkers from our roads. There are just too many in this category in lagos.

Remove those who use every available space on our streets to be frying poff poff, akara, buns, fruits, suya, indomie etc. Some people have started selling food right on the walkway at bus stops. And of course the impact is that they mess up the road by throwing waste water, food remnants and food packaging plastics unto the road. I don't deny people right to make a living, but it has to be done the right way. Roadsides is not the place for every business and market.

Although electricity is not in the purview of state government, but it would be good if he can get involved somehow. I recall ambode had some initiative to add 3000MW to lagos state.

Go on a comprehensive road rehabilitation drive. For a state that has annual budgets close to N1trl ($2.7bln). Surely if Lasg contracted RCC, JB, HiTech and maybe Setraco to do proper road resurfacing of problem areas over 2years and dedicate N50bln per year between October of one year and April of next year, we will smile in Lagos. I always say that quality is better than quantity. Some roads done properly by JB in 2001/2 are still serving us well for 18years despite heavy load on them over and above what roads experience in developed countries. Such roads are Awolowo road, ikoyi, ojuelegba yaba Road, kudirat abiola Road oregun etc. If we focus on keeping existing roads well maintained, we don't really need to focus on new roads. Just some smart interventions (the lay by going to Ketu and at iyana oworo were really smart and useful)

Feel free to add yours.

After accumulating over #1.4 trillion foreign debts, Lagos does not have public water
supply and it's a shame for a city that prides itself as a center of excellence.

I don't know what Tinubu and Fashola used such huge foreign loans for despite the massive IGR.

Water transportation should be expanded
Ever since creation, no running public water in Lagos state( attention seriously needed)

He needs to subsidize beer retail rate in Lagos

If he can focus on that, then I believe Lagos will be a better place.

1.) Bad roads: 90% of Lagos roads are worn out! Lagosians now spend more time on road traffic caused by bad roads, potholes than they spend at work, home or business, its sad!

2.) Insecurity is rising in Lagos again. I heard some areas on Lagos mainland; Oshodi, Mushin, Ajegunle, etc have started to witness influx of criminals and house to house robbery that used to be a thing of the past has gradually returned back to Lagos mainland.

3.) Waste management! Lagos has overtaken Aba and Ibadan as the dirtiest cities in Nigeria. Ambode should double his effort to make Lagos a clean state because it is the gateway to Nigeria.

If Sanwo-Olu can succeed in these three things, then he should prepare to contest for President after his 8 years in office.

Wish him Gods wisdom and grace to lead well.
