How Mobolaji Johnson built Lagos with £10,000

As an administrator of Lagos, Mobolaji Johnson’s first budget was a modest £10,000. As of 2019 and due to inflation, that would amount to £150,927.28 and equivalent to ₦70,447,239.81 in Nigeria’s current currency. That money cannot even buy an official car of some Nigerian States’ governors. #HistoryVille #MobolajiJohnson
