Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola today marks 1,400 days in office. Fashola said his achievements gave him the courage to seek a renewed mandate for continuity purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Information and Strategy, Mrs Oluranti Odutola, said Fashola\u2019s achievements were products of determination and the will for change.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said Fashola\u2019s score card cuts across education, agriculture, health, grassroots development and sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Odutola praised the government for not relying on federation allocation, but boosting its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cThe administration of Fashola has demonstrated, in clear terms, the beauty of continuity in governance. The Eko Free Health Mission was specifically designed and has achieved its objective of taking health care to the grassroots, especially to the indigent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pension decentralisation policy, coupled with the introduction of the biometric machine for the verification of pensioners and the payment of monthly pensions to banks near their residences has brought much relief to pensioners.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe laudable Blindness Prevention Programme has brought unprecedented relief to thousands of Lagosians. Thousands had their eyes screened, some received free glasses and others had surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRoutine road maintenance by operatives of the State Public Works Corporation (PWC) has given many people the opportunity to earn a decent living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCommercial vehicle operators have also record faster turnaround, resulting in more journeys and obviously more profit because of better roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe transportation vision of the administration has created employment for many citizens. The Bus Rapid Transport (BRT), with over 200 hundred buses in its fleet, has employed 200 drivers and over 400 bus assistants. With those selling tickets at various bus stops and those engaged at BRT depots, well over 1000 people have been employed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Construction of the Light Rail by the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company has also witnessed massive employment of various categories of professionals and artisans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe continuous effort to sustain the environment and tackle global warming has continued to witness immense investments by both government and the private sector, culminating in the provision of employment for a wide range of professionals. The State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has also employed hundreds of street sweepers, who daily ensure that Lagos roads are clean.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lagos Television and Radio\/Eko FM have continued to transform into a world class public-owned media.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs Odutola urged Lagosians to reelect Fashola.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
