A sad tale of zero maintenance culture for a national landmark. Hopefully, Lagos State government will be able to restore it and better manage it. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

Throwback: The private sector is involved as equity partners I believe, so maintenance will not be an issue going forward. 3 Likes |

National Arts Theatre should be like the O2 in London. Under proper management, it should generate revenue and create jobs............. Instead of our artiste exporting their talents going to sell out 02 and paying taxes to the queen......... We need to embrace our own......A good line up of shows and artiste around the festive period in december or in the summer....will generate a lot of revenue for airports,hotels,beach access,restaurants and night life. Thats how you grow the economy. Even better make it a public listed company....file an IPO, try to run it at a profit Both government and private patronage.....share the proceeds back as net profit Give the citizens a sense of ownership..... If we dont start thinking like a capitalist society, we will always depend on government to build infastructures 44 Likes 4 Shares |

Lets be honest with ourselves, this is misplacement of priorities.... a long lease to a private firm would have been a lot better, rather than a waste of N40bn from taxpayers funds, apart from being an event centre and drinking spot, how many Nigerians watch live plays?.. despite our love for football, the stadiums cannot even sustain themselves and practically turned to drinking spots. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

FILEBE:Good morning sir. One word; COMPETENCE . Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely competent and capable to lead Nigeria to greater heights. He is an excellent experienced public administrator and a Patriot to the core. Asiwaju Tinubu is a brilliant visionary leader who will keep his promise to take Nigeria to greater heights. I may need to take you down memory lane of his account of stewardship in public office in case you do not know or trying to ignore the significance of Asiwaju's sterling performance in office as a reason he is being rewarded woth support today. As the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu recovered what is now called Eko Atlantic from the raging Atlantic ocean Lagos Bar beach coast line flooding (for decades that problem even some of the more developed nations explain away as climate change problems) defied all solutions by FG and the highbrow strategic Victoria Island was deteriorating fast with businesses, embassies, hotels etc exiting VI in droves. During that time, the Atlantic ocean flooding reach the fringes of Ozumba after the flood completely take over Adetokunbo Ademola. Lagos State Government under the brilliant , resourceful and hardworking Asiwaju Tinubu solved that herculean challenge and today, VI is back to its glory. It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought back the Lagos Central Business District and Broad street commercial nerve centre of Nigeria back to life after it was abandoned, it's Asiwaju Tinubu who built major roads from Oregun to Lawanson to Igando LASU to as far as Badagry etc. Asiwaju Tinubu is the one who fixed the horrible waste problem we had in Lagos and that LASTMA and BRT you see was created by Asiwaju. Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who got Lagos State to be part of the owners of Econet and unlike Delta State where the shares were sold and funds pocketed, Lagos State Shares were warehoused with professional investors in the state investment agency called Ibile holdings. Asiwaju Tinubu increased bursaries to students of Lagos State origin (NULASS) and made public schools free for all Lagosians regardless of your tribe, religion or political party affiliation after his administration had successfully returned missionary schools to their original owners( other states later copied Lagos) . It was during his tenure that Ikeja General Hospital became a teaching Hospital, upgraded most of the clinics to General Hospitals giving free health to the 5 years and below and Lagosians of 65 years and above age group. . The fund that BRF used to quickly build infrastructures were the LGA funds withheld by Pa Obasanjo and despite that Asiwaju Tinubu never owed salaries. When the purchase of FG refineries by Alhaji Dangote was cancelled by HE Yardua, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ran to Asiwaju Tinubu after most state governments and governors in the SS gave Dangote a cold shoulder. Today, through the assistance Asiwaju Tinubu gave Aliko Dangote, Dangote Refinery is taking off to help us stop the petrol subsidy killing our naira and public finances. Asiwaju Tinubu is loyal to those who paid the ultimate price for our democracy and today heroes like Bagauda Kalto, Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Abraham Adesanya etc are immortalized in Lagos . One of the most memorable achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu for me was helping to stop the blood letting and recurring Hausa-Yoruba/OPC war in Idi Araba and Agege. Those hellish period of unrest defied even the effort of past military state administrators of Lagos but Asiwaju Tinubu was able to solve it. That Lagos State Government civil service is regarded as the best in Nigeria is due to the hardwork Asiwaju Tinubu did to reform it, created Tutors-Generals offices, improved harmonized pay structure, best pension scheme for civil servants etc. I can go on and on to educate you on the legacies of Asiwaju Tinubu still standing till today as my reasons for my confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu sir/ma That's why my appeal goes to you my fellow patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Here's free book on business ideas & money sources directory for you,it's 100% free! https://www.nairaland.com/6666800/looking-business-ideas-money-fund.
