It's precisely because of the type of comment in bold that Fashola needs to distance himself from Tinubu and really quickly. The man will poison his reputation just by association.

I have used that facility before as it happens, and the staff were kind enough to explain to me that it was owned by Tinubu, after I saw his FULL NAME on the receipt and asked!!! And it was not some kwue kwue staff either, it was the top dogs there. I must be honest with you, I could never have imagined that he would go that far (in terms of squeezing the state dry), with silly me thinking he was only interested in land and creaming off the state revenue.

If you think he's irrelevant, why are you defending him so stoutly? Or are you him sef?

You arrived at that because I asked you to provide proof to back up your claim? You are a genius.

My position is, till you provide proof to support your claims, it's nothing but baseless claims and rumors.

You don't have any receipt with Tinubu's name on it. The place is just another section of Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM)



Since you've refused to provide proof, I'll help you out.

Commissioning Of The BT Paediatric Complex And BT Health And Diagnostic Centre At The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH)

Jan 6, 2009 - In the year 2005, the visionary administration of my predecessor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, commenced the comprehensive phased infrastructural development plan for the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM). This was part of a grand vision to transform these institutions into globally acclaimed centers of excellence in healthcare delivery as well as reputable citadels of medical research and learning at undergraduate and post graduate levels.

One of the benefits of continuity in the administration of Lagos State is the sustained implementation of this policy and the consolidation of the reputation of these institutions as the fastest growing tertiary health centers in the country. The commissioning today of the Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre and the Bola Tinubu Paediatric Ward Complex marks another milestone in the infrastructural development of LASUTH.

These facilities will further enhance the capacity of LASUTH to deliver on its mandate and improve the provision of health care delivery in Lagos State in accordance with a key component of our Ten-Point Agenda.

The vision of the Lagos State Government is for infrastructural renewal befitting its Mega-city status to adequately cater for residents. A glance around this complex shows clearly that we are making remarkable progress in this respect.

Ladies and gentlemen, the initial phase of the developmental project execution at LASUTH incorporated the rehabilitation of the clinics, male and female medical and surgical wards, morbid anatomy department, dental centre and the emergency centre (LASEMS). Subsequently, the second and third phases commenced with the construction of new buildings designed to enhance ambience and academic standards by providing an enabling environment for patients, students and lecturers. These include the 4-storey Faculty of Clinical Sciences Complex and the Students’ Hostel at LASUCOM.

This distinguished audience will recall that in March 2008, I had the singular honor of commissioning the Dental centre as well as the Bola Tinubu Ward Complex. The commissioning today of these two projects; the Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre as well as the Bola Tinubu Paediatric Ward Complex is in continued fulfillment of our promise to upgrade this hospital to a tertiary health institution of international repute.

The Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre is a world class centre with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. These include radiological equipment such as CT SCAN, MRI, fluoroscopy, mammography, general x-ray and ultra sound equipment on the ground floor and fully automated, sophisticated but robust laboratory equipment such as blood chemistry analyzers, spectrometers and haematology analyzer on the first floor.

All of the major equipment in the centre have an information technology base and for reporting and displaying of results which can be transmitted along with images anywhere in the world for referral or alternative opinions – telemedicine. It is the belief of this administration that diagnostics forms an integral part of a patient’s total medical care and only complements the expertise of the medical personnel; therefore investigative tools must be of the best quality. The Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre is also to serve as a reference centre for all secondary health facilities in the State.

The 4-storey BT Paediatric Ward Complex which we are commissioning today is essentially in recognition of the fact that the paediatric age group constitutes an appreciable percentage of the total out patient clinic attendance at LASUTH. The project was executed on a design and build format by Messrs Deux Project Limited to provide 44 beds, 60 cots, five paediatric clinics and five family medicine clinics. It is expected that this facility, by increasing the bed space available for paediatric patients, will complement other child survival strategies to reduce infant and child morbidity/mortality in line with the health-Millennium Development Goals.

In our thrust to ensure the attainment of these goals as well as increase the availability of quality health services, the following projects are some of those earmarked for execution during the tenure of this administration:

a. Renovation and equipping of public secondary health facilities to empower an increased scope of service delivery at this level of care. It is envisaged that this intervention would by extension permit LASUTH to focus on her clinical, training and research responsibilities;
b. Construction and equipping of 100 bed Maternal and Child Health Complexes at Gbaja and within the premises of Ikorodu, Isolo, Ifako Ijaiye and Ajeromi General Hospitals to reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality in alignment with the health-
Millennium Development Goals;
c. Construction & Equipping of Amuwo Odofin General Hospital with the provision of a 110 bed Maternal and Child Health Complex as an integral component;
d. Construction and equipping of Accident and Emergency Centres across the State to reduce accident related morbidity and mortality;
e. Construction and equipping of Infectious Disease Complex at Mainland General Hospital;
f. Upgrade of Gbagada General Hospital to the status of a suitable annex for LASUTH;
g. Rehabilitation of Ayinke House, LASUTH;
h. Construction of drainage, internal roads, water reticulation and central power provision at LASUTH;
i. Rehabilitation/Upgrading of Massey Street Children’s Hospital;
j. Construction and equipping of iconic complex comprising clinics, wards etc at the General Hospital, Lagos;
k. Construction and furnishing of Staff quarters at different locations and
l. Construction and equipping of two -storey Staff Clinic at the Lagos State Secretariat Complex with conference hall and executive lounge

You will all agree with me that these are desirable but capital intensive projects. I wish to submit that our success is contingent on the support, cooperation and understanding of all and sundry. I therefore seek your cooperation in protecting these facilities from vandals and saboteurs and also in fulfilling your civic obligations in the payment of taxes to ensure the actualization of our collective dreams.

I commend the competence, diligence and efficiency of the generality of the health workforce and enjoin you to strive to take the State to globally acclaimed heights of excellence in the health sector.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to formally commission the Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre and Paediatric Ward Complex to the glory of God and to the benefit of humanity.

I thank you all for your attention.

God bless.

Ilu Eko o ni baje o.

Babatunde Raji Fashola (S.A.N.)
Governor of Lagos State

felele:
You might want to explain to us what Tinubu's interest is in Hi-Tech construction, a major partner in LCC, or if not, a cursory glance at CAC's records will explain it to you.

Shouldn't you be the one explaining? Abi are you not the one with all the theories and schemes?

The burden is on you my friend,

felele:
My brother, you don't know the half of it. The LCC concession alone cannot stand up to scrutiny in a FAIR court of law!

Do you have copies of the concession agreements/contracts? I'd love to reason with you, but the absence of documented evidence is making it hard for me to do that, Talk is cheap my friend,

felele:
Your constant request for evidence just may hasten the process up. Look a little closer at the BT Diagnostic Centre in the LASUTH compound in Ikeja, and ask for more evidence. As I said, Fashola is just trying to behave like a well brought up Lagos boy, by trying to be grateful to Tinubu. Were it not for that good breeding, there would have been blood on the streets by now.

You had better advise Tinubu to let go of Lagos State, or he will start a fight he simply cannot win, no matter how many times the sycophants that surround him hail him and tell him that he is a god.

You will be surprised to know that a lot of the "important personalities" in Lagos who publicly hobnob with him will support Fashola in a fight against Tinubu. Let it not shock you. Lagosians know how to protect their own if it comes down to that.

You mean Fashola and Tinubu conspired to build the hospital on state property, charge lagosians for medical services and send the money to Tinubu?

Is this what happened the last time you visited the hospital?


And what do you mean advise Tinubu? Tinubu is absolutely irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

Lagosboy:
When Felele speaks about Lekki lands and Tinubu , I am sure he knows what he his talking about. If Felele is the person I anticipate he his then he knows much abt lekki lands and ibeju lekki. Felele is a big player in that side of Lagos especially Ibeju Lekki.

Although Felele might wonder who is this but chill out bro nothing to worry. Amen!!! ( i am sure will understand this) Your analysis is spot on !!!

Are you trying to substitute facts with baseless rumors, hearsay an street talk? Is what Felele knows is enough to take to court and put Tinubu in jail?

Not Bad,

felele:
I refer you to my answer in the other thread, oh heck, here it is anyways:

What you must understand is that Fashola is the quintessential Lagos "Omoluwabi". For those that do not understand Yoruba, Omoluwabi means a child that is born well, literally.

Of course it is used to define people of honour and grace. Fashola is being gracious to Tinubu, almost to a fault. The truth is that Tinubu is actually an albatross on Fashola' and Lagosians' necks, what with the way he has sold all the land in Lekki Peninsula, from Lekki Phase I to Lekki Town in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area, to himself and his cohorts. Alpha Beta and its N2 billion per month direct from Lagos State coffers nko?

On top of all this, he is making money from Lagosians misery. Literally. He owns and operates the innocuously named BT Diagnostic Centre in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital premises in Ikeja. No need to ask where he got the money to purchase all the ultra modern equipment in that centre. The easy answer is the state coffers. By the way, for those who don't know, the full name is Bola Tinubu Diagnostic Centre. It costs an arm and a leg to do medical tests there, and you pay in cash!!!

Fashola will not follow him into the gutter, no matter how much Tinubu and his boys try to drag him down there with them. He's too decent a fellow for that. So, they will try to impeach him. The threat is VERY REAL, and it really is because Fashola wants to stop using Alpha Beta, in order to stop the N2b per month leakage that Tinubu is sucking from there.

You are entitled to all the rumors on the face of the earth. I asked you for documented facts, but as usual, you spelled out some more baseless innuendos and sidewalk fabrications.

Like Fashola said in the video, stop spreading rumors.

woodnaija:
me and my blud nigaz in da wood r d grimiest guys u ever seen homi. when u get locked up nd u hav to go wit your homis or your race dats called politics. my blood nigaz call me redkon cuz im a african blood niga and i put in work. me and my nigaz have d best rap too. im inglewood finest and dont forget homi. where all the hos at cuz i need some runners for d strip. i need paper flow so i can get my work up ya dig wut i sayin? here me an my nigaz rapping in my hood inglewood.

lol,

Beaf:
No, I challenged you to tell us where your state is in terms of the Human Development Index (HDI). This figures are measurable and easy to obtain, I just want you to seek them out yourself.

Don't run away. I won't let you off easily.

The challenge is on.

Dude, what challenge are you talking about and of what use is your irrelevant index and challenge to me when the discussion is about the best governor?

Don't you wanna go start your own thread and discuss your index to your heart's desire?

phantom:
@baba, my argument is there is nothing to write home about, simple!

We are all entitled to our opinions,

Beaf:
Talk is cheap, Delta state people talk little.

Delta state happens to be far ahead of your state in measurable human indexes, immunisation, child mortality, GDP per capita, life expectancy etc. We regularly trounce you guys with the highest JAMB scores and the number of university admissions for the number of applications. Let that be your homework, find out the Human Development Index (HDI) for each state in Nigeria; tell me which state comes tops and by what margin .

But, hey! You think development is planting flowers and converting area boys to lastma; we value the development of the individual in Delta state, yes we value the everyday hard working woman and and man. . . Much, much more than flowers.

I laugh in Igbo, Isoko, Itsekiri, Izon, Urhobo and the many other great Delta state ethnicities not mentioned.

I guess your answer is nothing to show,


Same talk talk rhetoric as usual,

felele:
Worry not your pretty head, my dear friend, for in the fullness of time, Tinubu's day in court will come. Maybe even sooner than you think. Let him just carry on in his path to perdition. His train is gathering steam.

Why not just wait till that time and quit worrying your pretty head?

phantom:
@baba, very good, i like your argument so why the noise, the population of lagos increases everyday, but the roads and amenities dont so why are all y'all gettin excited?

So, what do you want the state to do? build new roads for each new arrival? I don't get your argument.

felele:

You're of course free to provide documented facts to back up your claims. Till then, it's nothing but rumor,

My Relationship With Tinubu Remains Healthy - Fashola

http://www.tundefashola.com/


Listen to the man and quit spreading rumor like Fashola said in the video,

phantom:
@babapupa, and i guess renovating the same roads in lagos is worth mentioning abi??pls count the no of new roads you have in lagos, if dem pass 10 den the man dey try

You mean they should just ignore the old roads, let people suffer and bulldoze houses to build new ones, Your smartness is shining through I swear,


na you biko,

Beaf:
My friend, half the press in Lagos is owned by Delta state people. Calm down, we might be minorities, but we no dey carry last!

Who is trying to take away your minority status? lol.

So, why are your media folks not using their immense resources to unearth the goodies you're straining hard to come up with beside the swimming pool and road side picture you posted? Why are your people aggrieved that their is zero development in the delta. Oh, I forgot, it's the federal government responsibility, not your elected officials,



Ndo, e go better one day,

~Sauron~:
Don't be too harsh on the dude. . . . . .He might have been banned from stepping his foot in his village.

lol. Just stating the obvious, the guy's rants against Lagos state and Fashola is weird and scary,

edoyad:
These ones mentioning Rivers and Delta states, let them clarify if the ones in Nigeria before i can start laughing in earnest.

Right now, they can not clarify anything, the achievements are buried under ground and they need to get hold of reporters from lagos state to unearth and exposed them to the people, All they have for now is just talk talk,

Kay 17:
you are an iidot, Lastma fines 350000 for forgetting vehicle document at home, is such a person a criminal? the real criminals are terrorising Lagos, and the touts fashola appointed as security are too scared to confront, rather pursue innocent weak and law-abiding citizens.   i think i'm justified not pay taxes because there is nothing absolutely that is gained. rather, trees and grasses and flowers is what he can show for it.

Till you successfully prove that the Lagos state government  put a gun to your head to remain in  Lagos, prevent you from heading back to your village and forced you to pay taxes, you're just another disgruntled bad bele  loud mouth. Your issues are far beyond Fashola and Lagos state, obviously, it's personal and you need to sort it out with yourself,

It shouldn't have been moved. Like the poster said and if it's true, Lagos and Abuja threads are still up and not moved.

For all the rumor peddlers, here it from the horse's mouth.

Fashola speaks,


http://www.tundefashola.com/


They asked him about compass and Fashola goes, compass? you read that paper?  That was funny. lmao

Abagworo:
cant y'all do without insults?i doubt if any of you is from Lagos because true Lagos indigenes do not behave that way.

Quit being dramatic and don't start unnecessary noise. Must everything be insults?

ayinba1:
Again, please start a thread lauding the achievements of any of the Eastern/Southeastern state governors.

I'm sure they'd love to, there's just nothing laud and show. I don't get how people spend so much time worrying about other people and neglect their own sorry existence.

Bad bele is indeed a terrible disease.

ochukoccna:
Whether it's Fashola or not , 9ja peoples are  not blind and know which politicians are working and which ones are looting. Even all the work Fash has done is negligible as the infrastructural rot is great and while he has the praise of many for what he has done so far, like Oliver Twist told Mr. Bumble, "Please, sir, I want some more." Is that to much to ask for the Action Governor ?

It's not much to ask for and I'm sure he'd love to do more, you just have to give him the extra money to help him provide more. Like Yoruba people dey say, the soup wey sweet well well, na money make am.


Money places limitations on everything we do or love to do. Lagosians are realistic and sensible people.

Fashola Declines To Commission Project, Insists On Quality


Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Monday declined to commission the newly developed multi purpose storey office and shopping complex situated at Obafemi Awolowo way in Ikeja because of the substandard finishing of the complex.

Governor Fashola who spoke at Ikeja in the course of his second day of his on-going tour of projects in the state which took him to Lagos West Senatorial District added that henceforth the government would no longer accept any half measure or management in quality of projects.

He added that his administration would no longer accept any situation where a structure that is not on sound footing is allowed to stand, insisting that the administration is ready to ensure that if it fails to get it right the first time it would start it all over again.

Said he: “structurally the building looks good, but we need to pay attention to the finishing. We are not going to manage anymore, if we don’t get it right, we won’t use it. If we get it wrong , we will bring it down and start again”.

Continuing, Fashola said: “we are not going to compromise with any contractor. There is nothing wrong with the building, it is just that we think much more detail should be paid to the finishing. The same king of attention we paid to structure should be paid to the soft furnishing and other details”

The Governor who also commissioned the State Digital village asserted that it would provide business opportunities to indigent young professionals like draughtsmen, architects and artists who cannot pay the bills of renting formal offices to have access to computers to transact their businesses.

He added that the digital village would also serve as a certified training centre for reputable organisations like Microsoft and CISCO among others so that the facilities present at the centre can also be used to improve the capability of young Nigerians.

Governor Fashola who also commissioned the rebranded Lagos State Fire Service and Safety office at Alausa promised that the State would purchase more water tankers to accompany fire fighting trucks.

He added that the move would ensure an end to the problem of water scarcity which has been responsible for slowing down the pace of the organisation’s response to fire incidents across the state.

He asserted that the state Government has not jettisoned the proposed new state drivers license scheme insisting that it is still putting finishing touches to some of the facilities that would allow the system take off successfully.

He explained that the programme is still on course and that some of the facilities at the driving school in Oshodi such as the simulator is not fully ready.

He also informed that the first phase of the Ago Palace Way expansion project and bridge would be completed by October this year.

The Lagos State Governor inspected the prototype building containing 24 courtrooms of four floors at Ogba under construction and asked the Permanent Secretary of the Office of Works to ensure that the building takes cognisance of the physically challenged who might need to gain access to it before it is completed.

At the construction site of the gorge at Yaya Abatan Street, Governor Fashola was received by a tumultuous crowd of residents and opinion leaders in the Yaya Abatan area who expressed appreciation to the Governor for embarking on the project.

The Governor appealed to the people to exercise patience with the State Government, promising that more roads and channelisation projects would be embarked upon as time goes on, adding that as long as there are human settlements, there would be development challenges.

At the site of the upgraded and rehabilitated General Hospital at Ifako- Ijaiye, Governor Fashola inspected the level of work and directed that the marble floor of the X-ray Centre should be removed as it was too slippery and could endanger the lives of patients at the hospital.

Governor Fashola inspected ongoing work at Iju road- Fagba via station and the Adiyan River which is scheduled for dredging; saying the need to dredge the Adiyan River was one of the challenges of Lagos as a coastal state.

He charged the community at Adiyan to cooperate with the contractor as the project progresses and also asked the residents to always report there observations on the project to the state.

At the Ekoro-Abule Egba road which is one of the roads listed in the rehabilitation plans of the state and expected to link Abeokuta expressway and serve as a bye pass and complete the link between Meiran , Ajasa, Command and Ayobo, Governor Fashola was told by the Special Adviser on Works and Infrastructure Engineer Ganiyu Johnson that the project has already passed 70 percent completion stage.

He told the people to expect more goodies from the present administration in Lagos State but that they should be ready to pay their taxes when due.

Governor Fashola was also at the Skills acquisition centre at Egan where inspected the level of work and commended the quality of work done of the edifice.

The Lagos State helmsman rounded up the visit with a tour of some projects like the BTL Health and Diagnostic centre and expressed satisfaction with the level of work carried out at the complex.

Aloy~Emeka:
Forgive me for thinking you are more than 17 before. Your lingo reeks of teenage mentality. I will be damned to dignify your stupidity with a response.

Your attitude reeks disgruntledness, lack of self worth and pride. Bad bele and putting other people down to make you feel good about yourself and your  village only compounds your problem, Ndo.

Aloy~Emeka:
This shows how petty and silly some people can be. How is this picture connected to fashola?. Did Fashola build those structures or create the water?. Those structures were there even when marwa was in power, so what is your point?. Is it the boat hotel? The one you said he had no hand in?

I know the picture they kill you because your village no fit look like that in a million years.

Abeg no do bad bele go slit your wrist. take heart my brother, e go better. just go back to your village and help out instead of doing internet bad bele lmao.
