On Friday, 30th of October, I will present my manifesto for Lagos, outlining my vision and priorities for the years ahead.
My focus is to sustain our progress, address areas that need more attention and create opportunities for every Lagosian to thrive.
The future of Lagos must put people first and our plans must reflect their hopes, concerns and everyday realities.
From completing and connecting our rail lines, improving road and water transportation and expanding access to affordable housing, to strengthening security and upgrading healthcare across our 57 LGAs and LCDAs, we must keep making life better. Every community deserves safe roads, reliable public services and opportunities to prosper.
Education, skills development and job creation will remain central to our vision. We must equip young people with the knowledge, technology and practical skills to succeed, support entrepreneurs and small businesses and ensure that talent translates into opportunity, regardless of background, gender, religion or place of origin.
We must also protect our environment through better waste management, flood prevention, improved drainage and the protection of our coastal communities. We will continue to promote responsible governance, support traders and businesses and manage public resources to deliver real value.
Progress is not just about how far we have come but how many lives we improve along the way. Building on the foundation laid by successive administrations, we must protect what works, improve what needs attention and embrace ideas that meet Lagos’ changing needs.
My commitment is to a Lagos that is safer, more accessible, prosperous and inclusive. A Lagos where opportunity reaches every community and every resident has a stake in our shared future.
Together, we will build on our progress and move Lagos forward with purpose, accountability and the people at the centre of every decision.
That is my PROMISE.
