This man really touched the heart of Nigerians, because at that time (1979-83) many families in Nigeria were well represented in Lagos. I was one of the beneficiary of his free education, while in primary 1&2 in Lagos. I could vividly recall one of UPN's campaign slogan then "free education Awolowo lo le sh e". All they think about then was transformation, unlike today, where politicians steal/loot/embezzle our Commonwealth. Funny enough the free education was for every student living in Lagos state then, no discrimination. These men were really great minds. We were even freely fed in school then with free books, no school fees, but today's Fed. Govt are making noise all over Nigeria for feeding primary school students, what a shame. just wondering how Nigeria would have looked like if Chief Obafemi Awolowo was voted in as the president of Nigeria. The Sage Himself Chief Awolowo and Alhaji Lateef Jakande were indeed 2 of a kind, and their records are matchless till date. 3 Likes |

Before he became the governor, Lagos schools operated the shift system because of heavy population and too few schools. There was morning school and afternoon school in each institution. 8a.m - 2 p.m and 2.30- 8-30p.m or thereabout. He stopped schools from operating the shift system by quickly building temporary structures which have now been rebuilt into modern structures. The government provided free books and no fees were paid. Many junior staff where I once worked are proud owners of "Jakande flats" in Isolo, Iba, Amuwo et al. They were placed on long term mortgages for ease of payment. He constructed the road from VI extension to Epe. There was no road beyond Mobil before. The swampy village nearby was known as Maroko which was just like today's Makoko. The development of the Lekki axis is deeply rooted in his foresight. The road was also of very high standard as can be seen on portions that haven't been refurbished going towards Epe. The Baba Kekere and Ita Faji ferries were popular among workers residing in the Apapa, Orile/Festac/Ojoo axis. A cheap, timely and convenient way to get to CMS Marina those days. The ferries moved on specific schedules so you could plan your time. He lived simply in his Ilupeju home and rode in his personal car, a white Toyota Crown (I think) all through. No noisy motorcade. A great but humble man indeed blessed with a gentle and humble first lady. The saddest thing was the cancellation of the metroline project by PMB at a huge loss to Lagos State. Also his unwarranted trial and humiliation for no reason. Baba is blessed. May his children and future generations be forever blessed. Amen 2 Likes |

AutoJoshNG: It was Jakande that constructed the Lekki-Epe expressway without erecting a tollgate on it, only for governors (thieves) to do a re-surfacing about 35 years later and turn the road into their personal ATM machine through exploitative and exorbitant tolls. But the ''mumu'' people of Lagos cannot do jack; they queue to pay day in day out. |

striker07: It's not about money and If it's about money, then Ambode should have turned the whole of Lagos Into a massive construction site and himself the most accomplished Lagos State governor since his budgets are twice Fashola's budgets, but Fashola with half of Ambode's budget accomplished more than past and present governor combined. Money can not buy ideas, it can not buy vision and personal drive to excel. |
