Keep blaming tinubu rather than blaming your state govs for not being proactive enough to promote initiatives such as this to boost local economy.....every state in Nigeria has land that can be developed for modern agriculture to improve productivity.

If you have clusters such as this you are indirectly bringing development to those hitherto undeveloped parts of the state by providing social amenities, infrastructure and security......bandits and killer herdsmen don't thrive in developed communities.

Many youths are wasting away in the cities riding okada and doing other menial jobs while leaving the lands fallow,why won't food be expensive.......this is directly under the purview of state govs and not tinubu......that's why we always laugh at those always blaming tinubu for the lacuna we have found ourselves.

#Statisense

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

kareemkamil:
Walahi this governor is so amazing

Mccullum:
Good one from the governor.

mctech:
Exactly!

A friend in Lagos was telling me how government leases/sells lots in farming estates with effective management and regulations and even supplies them with inputs at subsidized rate.

I began to wonder why other states are not doing it.

From my personal experience, agriculture is a low hanging fruit which anyone can do in Nigeria. I now eat vegetables I planted and chicken I reared.

While the empty head Wike ball sucker in Oyo state has suddenly become overnight real estate business mogul. Instead of using aerable Oyo state land to improve food production nah empty offices and housing estates he dey build

How our agric revolution is delivering dividends, by Gov Makinde

But the most impressive of the projects is the Fashola Farms, a farm settlement built by the administration of Pa Obafemi Awolowo in the late 1950s. He has revived the farm which had been abandoned for decades, and the quantum of activities on that farm as well as the deliverables across the agric value chain would benefit the people, smallholder farmers, as well as the major farmers. To take care of one of the major challenges, which is the federal road leading to Fashola Farms, Makinde applied to the federal government to permit him to reconstruct the road. After the usual tiff between the federal and state governments for two years, he was allowed to take it over from the federal government. Therefore, the Oyo/Iseyin road, which leads directly to the farm and the Iseyin/Ogbomoso Road (about 140 kms), which Makinde has constructed, has opened up the state and linked major towns. At Fashola Farms, with its innovation and science-based farming activities, it became clearer how agriculture can drive the economy of most states in Nigeria if the state governors apply rigour and are deliberate and intentional in their approach.

You’ve been talking about agri-business for a while. How is it going?

At Fashola Farms here, it is about providing the enabling environment and infrastructure.

The hub is built on 1,250 hectares of land, and every aspect of the land is being occupied. We are at the industrial site now, and we have 10 industries that are built here. Of those 10 industries, eight of them are completely occupied, meaning that there are companies already doing business here. We have green houses here as you can see over there and each of the buildings there is on two hectares of land. All the facilities here are built by the Oyo State Government with the exception of the green houses. Of the eight factories, two of them are going to be processing Cashew, another two will be processing vegetables and so on.

Was Tinubu proactive enough as governor for eight years to employ government workers to provide water, sanitation, mass transit, free basic education and basic healthcare to boost the economy from the multiplier effect of money in circulation plus private enterprises running factories and services firms?

What example did he give with his rotten master plan for lootocracy that has wrecked the state into one of the worst global cities, despite huge revenue and budget growth since 1999

Lithiumite:
The worst liveable city in the world,yet among the top 5 economies in Africa.

Have lagosians come out to complain to you they lack drinking water....how many states in Nigeria including yours has pipe bourne water.

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Western economies pay taxes through their noses while there are many millionaires in Nigeria who don't pay a farthing to govt as tax, does it make the Western countries worse to live in than Nigeria.

You still abuse a man whose legacies still lives on in the most populous state in Nigeria and every gov after him has attested to his erudition, atiku comes only a distant second of the 3 with obi an inconsequential 3rd.

Most of you dont understand..
what is involved in Agriculture....including the Governor too...
That's why u re calling dis beautiful...
Just see the road network on the pics...
And look at the farmer using hand sprayer...
For a maize farm of the size...
These are just the peripherals...problems...
When you now see the chaos in Agric value chain Plus fulani wahala...
U will understand why nearly all the Zimbabwe farmers
ran away from Nigeria...
And all the Songhai farms has closed up....in Nigeria...Don't you think he will construct roads leading to farms. Modern technology will be adopted too.

Why are some tribe quick to condemn

Bluntemperor:
What is Lamba here ?
Or have you not heard of the Farm Settlement Inspectors of those days?
They regularly go to Monitor the Activities of Farmers,the type of Seedlings, Research on Different Farms and monitor the Harvesters, and Plan ahead how to get a better and robust Farmlands.
This Is one of the legacy of the Sage- Obafemi Awolowo and at that time,there was no Oil or Sharing of Our Oil Money!
It's doable but just as Leaders in Political Cycle have corners all the resources for their Greed and personal - selfish reasons.

If you are not complaining for lack of water in Tinubu's modern Lagos, why do you think that every Lagosian is suffering from acute Stockholm syndrome



Kindly share Tinubu's tax returns as governor and owner of Lagos master plan since 1999 to show you are not just doing balablu town hall propaganda.



BTW, how does Tinubu's 25 years plus legacy compare with that of Jakande's four years

Godwin4444:
they are never do well

Ask them of the legacy of their forefathers n u will realise it's only leading them to an avoidable war n getting them killed like fowls..

Atuero u should b ashamed of yourself

Tell us the legacies of your forefathers like ojukwu, zik n co order than getting u killed like fowls

There is no part of Lagos even the most rural that doesn't have access to portable water whether private or public doesn't matter as long as people aren't suffering from lack of it.

Lagos monthly IGR today is about 60b naira which is about 500% of what it used to be when tinubu came in as gov......the exponential growth in revenue has and will always be attached to his meticulous and ingenious sagacity in generating adequate revenue for his state.....the facts are there.

It's only mischief makers like your self that cries wolf where there is non.....bring out your factual data showing people who lack portable water in Lagos.....people had overtime sort ways of providing their own water.

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

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

BeigJawnson:
Since you don't want us to blame tinubu then go and remove him as president...

So it was the governors that removed subsidy and floated naira against dollars?

We have minister of agriculture, why can't you say we should hold that one accountable?

We have minister in charge of security .... I hope you ain't blind against the insecurities in the countries...? If the governors ain't performing, can't the president put them into working? As a Nigerian, I have to hold the president accountable...

Food price going up is never a state something but all the federation... As you said they should hold governors...
