Hope for Lagosians?

Sitting in my office and watching the presentation made by the governor of lagos state Babatunde Raji Fashola presentation to the state house of assembly gives me an assurance that better days are really coming to the state.

If his words are anything to go bye then his initials BRF{better rewarding future} is really apt. He talked about the plans of his administration combating issues like employment, environment, flood control, road construction, security, education, health etc.

It is interesting to say the least that most his manifestos promises are coming to past. The rate at which roads are being constructed gives one a good idea of what the years ahead holds for lagosians.

Employment is another issue he is takling-head-on and this could be linked to the numbers of people who are under the Lagos state government pay role be it directly or indirectly.

Now to the big one TRAFFIC, if you ask any lagosian what they dread most in lagos i am sure you will get not less than 70% telling you its traffic. This is a feature that separates Lagos from any other city in the Nigeria.

The various plans of the government has shown that traffic, will reduced to it's bearest minimum. Signs of this are visible with the introduction of BRT {bus rapid transit} and the planned introduction of order complimenting transport services i.e water, rail etc.

If only other states in the country can emulate the visionary leadership and vigour of the Lagos governor{do i here you say what else do you expect from a SAN{senior advocate of Nigeria} }, then we will have a cause to smile.
