PoliticsRe: Poverty Rate In Nigeria By Geo-political Zone, According To NBS Report by PHAYOL81:
First off, this statistics shows the southwest is doing pretty fine as all our state has plentiful mixture of other tribes in them (which means multiple factors came up to push up those numbers).
MOREOVER, LAGOS posting just 4.2millions is not quite bad considering the enormous population of the state. BUT all in all, we all should be doing better. OUR SOUTHWEST states should up their game. CREATE more employment, improve the agricultural sector and ensure more policies that will ultimately enhance MANUFACTURING and PRODUCTIVITY.
PoliticsRe: Lagos Accounts For 60% Of FAAN’s Revenue, Says Keyamo by PHAYOL81:
@revolution2022 First off, Each individual region was responsibile for its own development pre and post amalgamation in 1914 up until 1964 or thereabout when stupid AZIKWE broke the regional government for a unitary one. SO lagos and the western region lived on resources they naturally had and/or nurtured up until then.
The port and airport in question were created before independence by colonial masters from taxpayers money and excise duties. Many other facilities the western region built were converted to nigerians: name it, the railway, the london house, the telephone system, the television network etc. Ever wonder why the region is ladden with facilities tagged the first in/by the country?
Besides, Abuja has been capital long enough, why is it still under Lagos shadow?
Again, before being the CAPITAL and these donkey years thereafter, no state had ever been as rich as Lagos, let that sink in. BUT that doesn't change the fact being lectured to you since that the western region control the most part of the state till it was designated one in 1967.

WHILE BUILT MORE
Already pointed it out: its necessity. Take for instance, five flyovers were at concluding stages across the redline rail project the state's constructing. Each of the zone is a potential traffic convergence hotspot and in other to avert a potential accident that may arise from vehicular traffic sharing right of way with the light train, the govt decided to separate the two so that movement could go on smoothly with neither posing a threat to the other.
Another one, this bridge in question. Ikeja is always traffic laden but there is limited route going in/out of the capital. So, the govt had to put on their thinking cap and create a platform that spills traffic outta the capital into three districts in minutes to save travel time.
There are other examples and all are necessary projects aimed at reducing commuters stress. Thanks

not like your country that disturbing everybody with uncompleted projects up and down.
In Europe too, projects update are periodic. They keep letting the populace be aware of how far they've gone and how much time the projects are expected to be concluded. Point is, each project being undertaken would always have direct effect on some people and the contractors, as well as the authority, therefore have to continually ensure those affected are soothed with assistance and sensitized with sensitive info they may need.
They don't keep their citizens in the dark. They make info available on all media platforms that everyone may be carried along. Remember, its taxpayers money and they hold the rights to know how their taxes are utilized.

Perhaps you meant to argue that Rivers built more bridges. And even at that, you are wrong. For all the eight years Wike has used, he's not built/being building as much as ten bridges. Check out how many Sanwo Olu has facilitated in his first term alone. And they were not merely construction to save the skyline but necessities; remember, LAGOS is so populated with them already.

1961 Independence Day Parade video

We see the saluting dais at the Race Course in Lagos. Then we see the prime minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, stepping out of the Rolls Royce Phantom. He is welcomed by the service chiefs as school children cheer. Then President Nnamdi Azikiwe and Mrs Flora Azikiwe arrive in the state Rolls Royce. Dr Azikiwe is dressed in the uniform of a field marshal. He exchanges salutes with the GOC Nigerian Army, who also bows to him and then with the other service chiefs. Then we see President and Mrs Azikiwe on the review vehicle (a Land Rover Series) as they receive the cheers of the crowd.

There is a clip of the VIP stand and we can see some of the ministers of the First Republic. The parade commander salutes Zik who returns the salute, then we see armoured vehicles (mainly ferrets) drive past the saluting dais. Finally Sir Abubakar and Dr Azikiwe watch as first the troops and later the school children march past the saluting dais (there's a cheeky school boy that sticks out his tongue at the camera).

Igbo contested primary against him and lost. The grand finale was not what the Igbos would've desired (as they were left to decide between the whales and the deep blue sea) hence their participation as AD winning the election would've rubbed salt over the injury.
Some stayed away from the poll altogether while the rest who voted did so along Party line and out of sheer disgust for anything founded by the Yorubas.

EmekaA125:
In a sane clime, Sanwo olu shouldn't have left the Psychiatric hospital where he was receiving treatment to answer Tinubu's call. What's the noise all about?
You should rather have your mental health checkup too. Perhaps, we should know explain things better to you. This is more like a partnership procedure. Lagos state is using part of the interstate lines and as a result, she has to provide amenities needed for the smooth running of the system across the lines. These are additional stations ( like 7), pedestrian bridges (5), flyover bridges (5) and ensure periodic maintenance. That's not all, she still has to lay tracks down to Iddo to not only connect Marina but also provide additional link through which containers could move commodities smoothly out of the Apapa port. What's more? The LASG master plan en route Agbado involves a branch off into Ikeja and linking the Airport, a provision not catered for by the FG project, so LASG is laying tracks into Ikeja too hence the reason why the flag off was done where the train tracks would pass at the state capital.
The analogy of your logic is akin to saying Cuomo shouldn't have announced and prioritized the $1tr overhaul of the NY transport system since the state has one of the best facilities in the world even in transportation. You might ask yourself, what the heck is he wasting that much resources and energy on?
Remember, he made it his new year promise to the state
PoliticsRe: Why Sanwo-olu Is A Smart Governor That Other Southwest Governors Must Learn From by PHAYOL81: 11:35pm On Jun 11, 2021
blamingthedevil:
Lagosians should understand that the "Rail Redline" of Lagos State Government is already in place as done by Federal Govt for Marina-Agbado Axis.

Lagos will not construct new rail lines except linking Ebute-Metta Station to Oyingbo and to the blue line that terminate at Marina for that axis.

Lagos State is just leveraging on existing infrastructure done by FG on Lagos- Ibadan Railway line by providing additional Rail Stations at Oyingbo, Yaba, Oshodi, Ikeja, iju,alagbado etc and Places where FG did not put Stations on the Lagos-Ibadan Railway Line.
.........
Lagos ain't only laying tracks down to Iddo to connect the blue line but is also linking the tracks to Ikeja from where the proposed Ikorodu line(s) would emanates. The tracks are also to connect the Airport, a provision not covered in the interstate railroad master plan.
All the same, its a brilliant idea that reduces cost for both parties because complimenting infrastructures the state's offering will benefit the federal trains too; as it disallowed intervention of transit from pedestrian and motorists alike.

PoliticsRe: LASG Calls For Cooperation As Construction Of 3 Major Roads Begins by PHAYOL81:
Moorish:
To many duplicates of functions:

General Manager, Lagos State Urban Renewal Authority ( LASURA)

-Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development

Special Adviser to the Governor on Urban Development

-Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development

Why do we have so many offices with thesame function ?
Not many offices but only two and those two have different terrains they work on for detailed and proper services, even though they get areas they must align and work together too. First one is LASURA. All LASURA does is to look into plannings of an already inhabited areas and draw blueprints on how best to implement infrastructural development into the system to improve the lifestyle and ecosystem of the area for optimal, quality and productive upgrades. Example is the urban renewal process ongoing at MAKOKO, YABA and BADAGRY. Another is the proposed plans for OTTO COMMUNITY, IKOSI-EJIRIN and IMOTA.
Then, there is the ministry of physical planning and urban development; a team that has its commissioner and permanent secretary, both of whom were present at the event. The team specializes in setting plans/blueprint for developing areas with the aim of creating a smart city project. They themselves hints on infrastructural facilities that would hasten growth (both economically and physically) in the new ecosystem for improved lifestyle and development in the state in general. Example is the LEKKI FTZ, LAGOS FTZ, IBEJU-LEKKI development, ORANGE ISLAND, PERIWINKLE ISLAND, EKO ATLANTIC CITY etc.
The other one stated is the aide; one who advises the governor/government on how to improve blueprints submitted by either/both above-mentioned offices. He deliberates with the governor on what to add/subtract and why. He also advises on how to procure right materials (finance, tools, products and labour) towards the actualization of the urban regeneration projects.

but dem dey touch v'island and lekki axis sha .

the works in v'island are massive... most are total reconstruction/upgrade.

also just saw a new road created on lekki phase 1.

good sha


but mass transit remains a key scheme lagos needs to get right
Of course, no LG/LCDA is untouched when it comes to the road project in the state as we speak. If they continue in this new pace SANWO OLU brings and they compliment that with quality deliveries, sooner than later, issues of bad roads in Lagos would be a thing of the past.
About the mass transit, you're absolutely right. If they deliver on the blue and red rail lines by the last quarter of 2022 as promised and are able to secure people's confidence over the waterway transport system, Lagos state would quickly jump up the ratings as a model smart city in Africa.

Moorish:
Thanks for that informative reply

So in a nutshell, LASURA works on already existing towns and finds ways to modernize and improve them, while physical planning and urban development is concerned with new projects ? Sounds cool

But those urban renewal projects at Makoko and yaba, badagry, what are they constructing ? Is it just roads ?

Lastly the projects you mentioned : LEKKI FTZ, LAGOS FTZ, IBEJU-LEKKI development, ORANGE ISLAND, PERIWINKLE ISLAND, EKO ATLANTIC CITY etc. which you attributed to the ministry of physical planning and urban development, isn’t that an unfair attribution? I thought those projects were a result of the private sector alone ?

Thanks for your explanation once again
No, not just roads. Check out the patterns of facilities going into Yaba and Badagry for instance. And Epe too. Yaba is having a modern and smart bus and train stations, apart from the one at the Ebute Metta end of the LG being constructed by FG. There are upgrades on medical facilities to world standard while there are proposals to construct research centers and the recently announced, massive technology hub. These are not all but to save time let's jump onto Badagry.
Badagry itself is having a revived agro business. A new jetty is under construction, a proposed coconut factory is on the way (the land/site already secured), health facilities in the region upgraded (some newly built), more classroom blocks built in a couple of schools and there's a speculation of an international company wishing to build a seaport at the marina too. Lagos state have had a MOU with them (as far as I'm know) and the company is also in talk with the FG.
In the case of MAKOKO, majority of the focus is still on the road improvement and development of new site termed "New Makoko " where new properties are already emerging. And lest I forget, all these areas have many roads reconstructions ongoing in them.
In regards to your other question, Lagos state are partners with all the developments for a reason. They can't leave a private company to present whatever they like: things would end up disjointed. And the purpose of giving them the opportunities would be defeated. Lagos wants classy and beautifully smart environment and the LASG team would deliberate with the private sector on the minimum level of facilities they expected them to provide in each one according to the type of development the urban planners want for each region hence a perfect residential blueprint would not look the same as a mixed zone which would also be different from an industrial settlement.
To save time, Lagos ain't financial partners but are strategically involved for good, standard and expected delivery.

@ oyeb15, i think that's part of the challenges being planned to rectified.
I won't be surprised if close to 20% of igr in Lagos itself ends up untapped by the LASG and thus getting milked by some opportunists. Imagind if markets and bus stations levies are properly monitored, collated, collected and sustained, Lagos should be posting at worst N600b every quarter.
Anyway, i'm likewise optimistic of a very vibrant future with the state partnership focus with various businesses for sustainable growth and economy.
