Sanwo-Olu's vision in building education infrastructure (Guardian)

We are excited about our intervention; we are beginning to see the effect and the impact. We have done it for three years consistently and we are beginning to see the effect. Per salary, we are the highest paying in the country; we give teachers brand new cars. While the government has invested heavily in infrastructure, Sanwo-Olu has not lost track of education’s importance and is strategically revamping it. We are not giving one or two but 13 vehicles in primary, and secondary schools. They have extra lesson curriculums for pupils that are in Year 10, and Year 11 and you know what, we are beginning to see the result. According to Sanwo-Olu, “we have recruited over 6000 teachers and we are not just doing it for pupils. We have seen growth in the number of pupils coming back to our primary school from private schools and elsewhere.” We’ve given tablets to teachers in primary schools to enable them to have the same learning curriculum. You are taught about entrepreneurship, music, acting and cookery to make sure you are coming out with a rounded knowledge of what you want to be.” Speaking with the confidence of a man who knows he has facts to back up his utterances, he moved on to what his administration has done with secondary education. January 23 and 24 were landmarks in the annals of Lagos State under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has appealed to Lagosians not to attack anyone, following the party's loss ...

According to him, “elections are a process and they don’t necessarily end with the announcement of results on election day. Therefore, we should not consider this particular election as the end of electoral opportunities for the country. “I note that INEC had challenges relating to the digitalisation of the electoral process but the Commission had promised to fix this. She said the win came despite intimidation and suppression. Kayode Fayemi, also urged Nigerians to exercise utmost restraint and patience in the aftermath of the presidential election. We should allow the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials to tally and announce the results. The uploading process was not properly done. We must allow the process to continue unhindered across the country while we maintain peace and decorum,” the statement said. An election will probably not be necessary if we all have the same choices. “The fact that the APC narrowly lost Lagos State to another party should not be the reason for violence. “I urge all Lagosians to go about their businesses without any fear of harassment. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu expressed concern over reports of violence in parts of the state, especially reported attacks on some traders of Igbo origin.

The commitment of the Lagos State Government under the leadership of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu toward empowering more Lagosians has been further.

He stressed that the programme was planned to bring hope and help to the downtrodden. With a comatose global economy and frightening unemployment statistics, we cannot afford to take the issue of wealth creation lightly. We intend to do our best to support and give succour to the vulnerable”, Sanwo-Olu noted. The scheme, which was designed to provide long-term financial assistance to vulnerable citizens, is one of several social intervention programmes being implemented by the Sanwo-Olu administration to bring relief to residents with adverse socio-economic conditions. Speaking during the programme at Alausa, Sanwo-Olu affirmed he would not shy away from making lives of the citizens of the state better. “I am really delighted to be at this event and listened to some of the beneficiaries as they tabled their priorities. The government has also been exploring opportunities in the agriculture sector to empower more. Similarly, the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is also being used to empower Lagosians. The programme targets 8000 entrepreneurs. Also, 8,000 residents were supported last year through a Special Grant for Rural Women in partnership with the federal government. The scheme has positively influenced many Lagosians who are now employers of labour in their own right. Speaking at the event, Governor Sanwo-Olu, represented by his deputy, Dr.
