Reference:
What are you talking about. Every state has a child welfare board. Every major police station has a domestic affairs desk. And if you cannot do these just approach any female police officer you see at the station. The vast majority will give you an ear if you present your case properly..... I mean with the dexterity you guys do on this forum complete with pictures or videos. If you care, it is there.

My summation after hearing about this unpatriotic action of the state governor with regards to the renaming of the state owned institution after a man that has no significant impact on the life of Kwarans aside installing his child as a state governor and later wanted to install his daughter as the state governor immediately after the tenure of his son, Sen. Bukola Saraki is that if the name is so important, why can't Sen. Bukola Saraki rename his football club Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) FC Sola Saraki Football Club....

This development is a disastrous step to integrity in all ramifications.

Can you mention some of his "wonderful" job?

As Governor of Lagos State, General Buba Marwa will be remembered for his “Operation 250 Roads” which he used to improve Lagos roads. Also, mosquito nets were shared to pregnant women during his era as Lagos Governor and public health care centers were built in virtually all LGAs of Lagos State. He stopped the “Jankara” methods of evicting tenant and made an edict to regulate rents, ensuring that due process is followed.

Many Lagosians will remember Marwa’s “Operation sweep” (a joint police and military venture) that protected our lives and properties. The military outfit “Operation sweep” was a memorable one. As a young boy then, I remember how “Operation Sweep” will be engaging thieves at night. Gun shots were heard on almost every night and I remember my uncle saying they loved engaging criminals.

The “Operation sweep” was never defeated in gun duels. And they were all over Lagos state. From Surulere to Ikotun, Abule-Egba to Badagry. They arrested Agberos (members of NURTW) and cleared them off our streets. Area Boys behaved themselves as they were roundly beaten when caught in illegal and immoral acts. They loved kids as on several occasions they bought us (children) sweet and “OK Biscuit” whenever we scored above 5/10 in the spelling competition they organized while drinking at a nearby beer parlour on our street in Surulere area of Lagos.
Also Marwa imposed fuel rationing in Lagos to tackle petrol shortages and reduce chronic queuing at petrol station. Before the rationing many Lagosians out of ignorance were storing petrol in their rooms and offices which resulted many times in explosions and the consequent loss of lives and properties.

Buba Marwa who succeeded Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola as Governor of Lagos state was on several occasions a victim of bomb-blast. Activist were of the opinion that it was Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola who was planning to kill him so as to cover up what he (Oyinlola) did while in office, as during Oyinlola’s tenure as Governor of Lagos State, bomb blasts was a norm in Lagos and letter bombs came into Nigeria’s polity.

Marwa was accused in October 1986 by the lawyer of the founder and editor of “Newswatch newspaper” Dele Giwa of delivering the letter-bomb that killed his client. Though, the Personal Assistant to Colonel Buba Marwa then claimed that Marwa was involved in the annual battalion test exercise in Bauchi when Dele Giwa was killed.
