LAGOSIANS HAIL SANWO-OLU, SET TO COMPLETE LAGOS BLUE LINE PROJECT


Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is basking in good times. The reason is: Lagosians are happy at his work rate! The urbane looking governor has never looked back since being sworn in last May 29. He has since gone ahead to build on the legacy of his predecessor by tackling major problems confronting the State. The governor even tackled pension delays, paid benefits to deceased workers families, and set the tone for the sale of the Lake Rice to members of the public. Now the Lagos Blue Line project is set to be completed in 2020 and become operational by 2021. “The aim of this rail project is to reduce travel time through an effective and efficient inter-model transport system”. He said this project was being done in strict adherence to the State strategic transport master plan which prescribed six rail line and one mono rail for the long term strategic goals of the State. When our reporters visited the Streets one Rasaki Shittu said of Sanwo-Olu: “Our governor is really performing; we are really happy for him”. Another fellow called Ishiaka Moshood said: “That baba governor dey work fine fine; that’s exactly what we like in him”. At Akpongbon in the heart of Lagos a shop owner, Raji Haruna praised the governor for his tireless effort. “The man is really an achiever and we praise him for this”, he said. Along College road in Ogba, Ijaiye, a motor mechanic named Adeleke Mausbau hailed the governor delivering on his promise. “What we want in democracy is to see provision of amenities and utilities, not vain promises”, he said. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, our investigations has revealed has not rocked the boat despite perceived rift between the state legislators and the former governor of the state. He has continued to build bridges across the divide, a strategy that is endearing him in the hearts of Lagosians.

The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams.
