Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has assured that the Governorship
candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State for the 2019
general elections, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu will not abandon ongoing
projects but rather complete and build on the enduring legacies already
put in place by his administration. Governor Ambode, who said this while
inaugurating an ultra modern lecture theatre donated to the Lagos State
University (LASU) by businessman and philanthropist, Mr Remi
Makanjuola, said while efforts were on to complete all the major
projects initiated by his administration, Sanwo-Olu would nonetheless
complete those ones he is unable to deliver before the expiration of his
tenure next year.“I am so excited about the fact that Mr Sanwo-Olu has
actually come out here and he has issued a promissory note and what that
mean is that we are going to have a government of continuity.For
whatever structures that we have in LASU right now, and I’m going to
also convince our chief negotiator, Dr Wale Babalakin, we are already
doing Senate building here, we are doing Students Arcade and we are also
doing the Library, I hope I will be able to complete and finish them
but if I am unable to complete them, I speak on behalf of Mr Sanwo-Olu
that he will finish and also do the Staff School.We are not campaigning
yet but truly that is the spirit of the kind of governance that we bring
to Lagos; that is the spirit that we really want to see and then we
should be able to show leadership in all spheres of life that we find
ourselves,” Governor Ambode said.Speaking on his administration’s
intervention in the educational sector, he said in the last three and
half years, at least N15billion has been invested in revamping
infrastructure in schools across the State to ensure students can learn
in a conducive environment, while 3,400 primary and secondary teachers
were employed to improve the teacher to student ratio as well as quality
of learning in schools.Sanwo-Olu will not abandon on-going projects in Lagos - Governor Ambode says
