Firefire: Fashola has lost his glory...

Fashola 2nd Term is a complete disaster and waste.

oduastates: Fashola should start putting Lagos indigens first and foremost in all things.
Nice one by the way.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), on Sunday inspected the on-going urban regeneration residential development in Isale Gangan, Central Lagos assuring that although there would be challenges ahead, his administration was not looking back in its drive to deliver the project.

The Isale Gangan Residential Development is an 11-storey, 54-flat housing project being developed by the Lagos State Urban Renewal Agency in the historic Isale Gangan area in Central Lagos. The 11-Floor development being done with the agreement of all the families who owned the small pieces of land used for it would comprise of two floors for parking, two and three bedroom flats, two lifts, staircases and escape staircases among other features.
We encouraged the families who own small pieces of land in this place to merge together in one piece and we helped them form an agreement so we can create space and build this place for them with all the amenities which will enable them live the kind of life they have been used to, have parties and so on, drive in and park their cars in their homes”, the Governor further explained.

According to the Governor, “this place will be a residential home for all of the families who own small pieces of land here. Each of them now has an apartment here instead of the small piece which cannot contain a house. We have helped them merge into this very big space so their lands are now in the vertical space. We have relocated them to Ipaja so that after the completion of this project those who want to return here can do so but those who do not want to return can let theirs out. But each family that owns land here has already been resettled.

Assuring that the project would be structurally stable, the Governor declared, “The more difficult work is already almost completed, piling to secure the structural stability of the house. You can see the type of construction, the type of piling, over 200 piles already here and more to come. There are piles that have gone as deep as 27 metres here and you can see the width and diameter, so you can see this is a building that cannot collapse.

The 11-floor residential building, being constructed by Anatolia International Limited, consists of nine residential floors with a total of 54 flats made up of 36 2-bedroom flats and 18 3-bedroom flats. Each floor contains six flats made up of four 2-bedroom flats and two 3-bedroom flats while the ground and first floors are for parking lots.

banku: Defend him as much as you want, I do not know how old you are and which Lagos you met, but as a Lagosian, you know better.

banku: Ekoile1, the problem is not structures and equipments, others have given you example of the luxury buses turned into apere. Maintenance and continuation of policies by better and more informed generation is our problem. Lagosians pride themselves as the best. Fashola is no different from others.

banku: The Nigerian disease is not of Fashola's making. It is how we foolishly measure success. But Fashola was brought differently in Lagos and enjoyed the best training a father could give.

banku: Asking those that have benefited is not the answer to my concern. A beggar has no choice until recently when they started rejecting money and even pelt coins on you some years ago. So why measure your success by proportional few that have benefited from programs that could have benefited many more?

banku: Look, until recently because of abuse, generosity was what we do in Lagos, hospitality is our pride. We grew up with - if a stranger entered Lagos in the morning, before night falls, he would be clothed, fed and given a place to sleep.

banku: I love Fashola and his programs up to a point. I thought he was going to be himself after his four years because of circumstances beyond his control. However, he has thrown the towel - if you cannot beat them join them. I must say that in his defense, he tried to revolt.

banku: EkoIle1,

If you look at the beginning of my comment, I stated I was not going to get into rude augment with you. As soon as I posted the second one I saw that you went into that same mode. That is it. If you want to know the meaning of accountability read my comment again or read Anonimi and other comments. I'm out of here.

banku: One situation I would not have placed myself is where I engage you in an argument, since I know you are a PRO but more important, I will reply you because you have been cordial here.

Accountability is not a bad word, it must be there upfront and justified, not only by freedom of information act from Ministry of Health. It is the basis of "democracy" or better still Oyo cabinet system, oldest in the world.

Whatever, Fashola is doing now, he himself knows he could go further, much further and better. But outrageous foreign contracts, 2 or 3 billions on one kilometer of roads and bridges so that Tinubu can get his cut will not allow him.

Defend him as much as you want, I do not know how old you are and which Lagos you met, but as a Lagosian, you know better.

Hold Fashola accountable for grand structures to impress and loot. That is what civilize people do. Accountability comes first.

banku: The fact is we are always impressed by grand buildings and foreign contracts where we can be easily stolen blind. All the money needed for medical treatment and prevention of diseases for majority of the people are spent by a few on tertiary treatment abroad or equipment that will never be maintained at home. Even ordinary cleaners to maintained the place will be inadequate. That is why all these grand buildings and equipment fall into disrepute.

As far back as the 80s, health clinics, health centers, primary care centers and comprehensive health centers linked to Teaching Hospitals were established. Community health officers, nurses and aides were trained in School of Health Technology in each state. The results? No follow up, no continued policies and no indigenous training of children of native doctors and recruitment into school of health technologies.

Most of these doctors do not even know, understand or trained for local parasites or other local diseases. Can you imagine a Chinese doctor that does not know acupuncture?

These equipments are not the first in Nigeria. Repeat first. All the Teaching hospitals equipped their top floors better than this piece of edifice, as "ten" stars hotels. Vagabonds refused to patronize them since they have to deposit loot abroad or die in the best hospitals for show in their obituaries.

Hold Fashola accountable for grand structures to impress and loot. That is what civilize people do. Accountability comes first.

As for those asking others to go back to their states, if you are real Lagosians, ask your parents what Lagosians enjoyed when we were Lagosians. Not these cement buildings that captivate your appetites.

jumpmasta: . This

EkoIle1: Oponu village phensic and panadol kiosk attendant, the beating I gave you is still paining you?

Kindly drawn inside the nearest shalanga and save humanity the headache, the world is saturated with more than enough worthless piece of shittt like you..

jumpmasta: Now you are hyping this medical centre..but you were the same i..d.iot condemning Lagos Drs who went on Strike to press for better facilities and better pay..Was this hard for your governor to provide...#hypocrite

aguiyi: Kid, go play ps3

aguiyi: Nairaland was blacked out a day after APC was taken to the cleaners in Ekiti state, not pointing accusing fingers sha, just noting the kind of things supporters of APC can do. In 2011 lives were lost, in 2014 it was electronic data, what will they take with them to the grave in 2015, watching mood activated meanwhile, where is the rogue trader meshpips and his criminal promises.

aguiyi: Fashola is overrated , the list of abandoned projects in Lagos and the sum involved is higher than that of any 3 states put together.

Gbawe: Indeed. Why pay attention to people, usually non-stakeholders from outside Lagos and the SW, who have nothing positive to say or contribute in regards to the affair of Lagos and the SW in general ? Abeg, Lagosians and fans of progress should ignore these mindlessly bitter vagabonds, nomads and hobos.

aguiyi: Common sense is truly not common.

Anybody who is not in APC is suddenly in PDP.

Don't we know the cost of the cost of revamping the rail lines, the airports and others?

Don't we also know the contractors?

Don't we know the owners of the said companies.anything fans hola does is cool and rational questions should not be asked, I really pity the institution you attended

aguiyi: If it were to be a federal project, will the informations I sort for not be readily available?

aguiyi: Anuofia, simple question has become a reason for you to insult your lineage. I pity your parents .

If it's a federal project that was posted up there, will the information I asked for not be made available?

The last day of 2012, the amiable governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola has donated a huge sum of N4.5m being the remaining balance of the N6m money for the ailing Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu’s kidney operation in the United Kingdom.

When Nigeriafilms.com and other social media broke the story a couple of days back, there were rapid response from individual and corporate organizations who all donated their widow’s mite but it was just N2m they could gathered before BRF now added the balance and extra N500,000 for miscellaneous. What a perfect new year gift from SAN Fashola, you would say!

Sources told us that Fashola heard about Nwosu’s case a few weeks ago while reading a publication and asked one of his protocol officers to get in touch with her.

‘They got in touch with us and have asked us to meet with them’, a source close to the actress told Nigeriafilms.com As you are reading this, effort is being made by the medical team to prepare her referrals so as to fly her out immediately. We shall continue to update you details as they come.

Gbawe: Oga Ekoile how far? Long time. Nice thread as usual. Fashola and Lagos State deliver another essential healthcare facility to enhance the lives of Lagosians . Kudos.

Lagos — About 300 people with kidney related problems were sent abroad for treatment by the Lagos State government in the past one year. Governor Babatunde Fashola disclosed this when he received a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) yesterday.

According to Fashola, the 300 beneficiaries were referred to hospitals in England, US and India due to lack of necessary facilities for the surgery in Nigeria. The governor also reiterated the commitment of the state government to develop the Gbagada General Hospital's Intensive Care Unit for kidney transplant and dialysis. He said the project would be executed in the first quarter of 2011.

anago1000: ogbeni ekoile ooo to ijo meta, shey ko si eewu sha.

The Lagos State Government through the Ministry of health has opened for use of the public the first ultra modern cardiac and renal centre at Gbagada area of Lagos.

[b]This is aimed at reducing the spate medical trips abroad as well as build local capacity especially for ailments that should be treated locally but where expertise and facilities are not available to manage them.

The facility which is designed to handle heart and kidney related disease also offers out-patient services, diagnostic services, ultrasound, CT scan, Echo cardiography, Stress Electrocardiography, laboratory services, fluoroscopy, ocular investigation for complications from hypertension, diabetes and renal conditions, haemo-dialysis for acute and chronic kidney diseases with 24 dialysis machine, admission for all cardiac conditions that requires hospital stay, critical care in intensive care unit (ICU) and high dependency wards, cardiac catherization, non invasive cardiology, open heart surgery, renal surgery, nursing and diabetic services, rehabilitation services and corporate wellness program.

The State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris while giving reasons for embarking on the project noted that, there is an increasing number of patients presenting with end stage renal failure.

Idris noted that the cardiac and renal disease constitute a growing health burden globally stressing that there is what is called a triple jeopardy in the health sector especially in Lagos and Nigeria which require efforts of stakeholders in State health system to address.[/b]

He said, “we have what we call double jeopardy but now it is triple jeopardy in the sense that we do not only have problems with communicable diseases, we are now having problems with non-communicable diseases, and the third one has to do with mental health. But this project is trying to address the major aspect of the non-communicable disease burden”.

Idris added that the non-communicable disease burden prompted the State government to embark on the screening of people for hypertension and diabetes which are major contributor to the cardiac and renal ailment burden as part of the of its preventive and health promotion strategy stressing that the study from screening conducted State-wide showed that roughly 20 per cent of the people who were screened were hypertensive and between 5 and 6 per cent were diabetic.

TribalEAST: fashola is a blessing to the yorubas and nigerians at large. Good job, sir. The children of anger from the east and PDP worms. Like the above poster won't see anything good in this development
