If you asked people who lived in Lagos during Jakande's tenure, they would tell you that he's the best ever governor of Lagos state, above military governor Maruwa who is second best ever.

Then he went and tarnish his achievements and image by serving under Abacha in 1994.

A visionair who was light years ahead of his time. He changed the landscape of lagos without making noise and without shoving the illusion of Mega City down our throats. Just a humble and pragmatic man who traveled overseas and brought back ideas to help the common man and changed lagos for the best.

God bless Alhaji Lateef Jakande and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The best governor Lagos ever had.

>:Y

Jakande estate

Hmmm...
Kudos baba....

even buhari did. So where is buhari today.

Great, imagine LKJ achieved all these in just 4 years, unlike Tinubu who uses Lagos Budget for 8 years to create blueprint for subsequent governor's.

A living legend.

I never knew jakande bustop was named after a governor

Babakekere, the junior Awo.

Great achilon of waste manifesto to be realised by the dead.

Dad spoke well of him

This man as a governor has achieved more than Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari as a whole.


People still live in estate built by this man, but those president listed above only built estate for themselves and their family, their estate is not affordable.

If Lagos State then were run in Tinubi's style of good return of state fund to the godfather I am sure Lagos wouldn't have been where it is today.

Thought Asiwaju Boka Ahmed Tinubu was the best Governor

His shortcomings is that he betrayed his benafector Pa. Awolowo

Anbode sanwolu jakande which name are all these ?meaningless names

Live well!Baba kekere!!Am a beneficiary of yur free education.

He also had a project for the Lagos Metroline network which was scrapped by General Buhari in 1985 and led to a loss of over $78 million to Lagosians..It was a project that would have solved the perennial transportation issue in Lagos till date but Buhari came in and cancelled it..

He is not like the yeye ones of today that rule Lagos..Baba Lateef Jakande did not have 1/10 of what the likes of the yeye ones of today had yet his legacies still stand tall till tommorow in Lagos
