SocialJustice:
Working for this government made Fashola useless and stupid.
Fashola was always useless.
Ariwo kó ni music. Propaganda kó ni proper agenda governance.
Federal level simply exposed his uselessness with no Jonathan/PDP to blame for his looting and non-performance in eight years as governor.
Abi how many Lagosians have bene riding his phantom light rail for the past nine years, since June 2013?

Realdeals:
1. The first governor to present a billion Naira state budget in Nigeria.

2. He phased out the shift system in Lagos schools in three months. He built functional classrooms to absorb those who only attend schools for three hours a day.

3. He opened up what is now known as the Lekki Corridor.

4. He built the biggest Housing estate by a state government at Abesan, along with five other estates.

5. He built LASU, LACOED, LASPOTECH and Technical schools to absorb the products of the free education policy.

6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.

7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.

8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.

9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.

Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school.
It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?

The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.
Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

Everything is wrong with borrowing for capital projects when you don't generate enough to pay back. Only a fool would borrow beyond his means and that is what our nation has done.

Fashola is by far the biggest failure in this evil government.
The fact that Lagos ibadam expressway section of Nigerias press works hard to create a favourable picture for this monumental disaster is one reason why he keeps yapping around like he has something upstairs.
What happened to the Power Ministry under his watch?

They justify every shitcrap including looting of the lean resources of this nation in the name of infrastructural development as far as it feathers their nest. Band of super-looters in government.
The worse is that na the masses dey pay or go still pay for the infrastructure through tolling.

You don't pay your debt from your GDP. You pay your debt from your revenue. Right now, we do not make enough money to service our debt and run the country.
Last year alone, we spent N4.22 trillion on debt services. Does this look like wisdom to you? This article from Nairametrics can educate you better on the catastrophe our government has created.[url] https://nairametrics.com/2022/07/21/nigeria-spends-118-of-revenue-on-debt-service/[/url]

We will make sure that all of us will be party agent, so that the corrupt party agents will not sell us out, as they did during APC and PDP presidential primaries. INEC should also take note that, Nigerians are going to police them to do what is right according to our constitution.

Even this man that was intelligent suddenly talks like an illiterate after joining Apc. Where's the electricity supply that you said it wasn't a rocket science to attain? Is oil the only minerals resources or means of revenue in Nigeria? Why is it that every time they want to talk about revenue they use oil as a target Yet they don't have respect or regards to the owners of the oil? Apc is the worst government in Nigeria's history and all it's top comerades should be convicted come 2023 including fashola.
