Sanwo-Olu Speaks On Lagos Debt Worries, Minimum Wage +More | Politics Today

[@chrisfemzysamuel1112]

Lagos State govt is really doing well and providing enabling environment for businesses and people to thrive. However, Lagos needs to really really LIGHT up. Most parts of Lagos are always dark which is not good.

[@tunkeolokpa8606]

This is one of the governors that will continue to earn my respect. During the time of COVID-19, I saw him as the president of the country because of the proactive measures he took to address that situation. Kudos.

My love for Sanwo Olu is endless. God bless Lagos state 🎉

[@uniqueinterface5398]

Delta State governor should go and look at Lagos state government and come over to replicate their methods here in Delta. Just imagine Enerhen junction and pti junction over head bridge that is less than 3 km put together is being under construction for over a year now and not sure they will even finish it December 2025. Very unfortunate. Enerhen police station road here in Warri is less than 1 km from urhobo college and it is completely out of use and yet the governor refused to fix it. Am so ashame of this government of Sheriff . I thought he was going to do better but am so did seeing things going this way

Please be awared Mr. GUVNOR Thanks.

[@danielekpo2486]

Lagos needs a massive interconnecting subway system to move all those people under the ground and free up space above the ground for ease of movement.

[@abiodunbalogun3292]

Well, when you look at the geography of Lagos and the demography you'll understand that it'll cost a humongous amount of money because Lagos is below sea level hence the surface metro being implemented at the Moment. It's not even feasible for Nigeria itself to build an underground subway for Lagos let alone the sub-national government because over 20% of Lagos is water. So for me, I think the surface metro or light they're doing is realistic for Lagos.

[@christopheradodo4718]

There is no doubt that devaluation of the Naira will increase debt burden, services and inflation. Thereby, depletes wages, devalue savings and increases costs of goods and services. Therefore, it is pertinent to control the monetary policy, and introduce fiscal policies that are urgently needed to stabilize the country currency. Without which the living standards in the country will be eroded. And to achieve this goal will require discipline governance, reduce corruption, improve accountability and other drastic economic measures. Including budget leakage and spending.

Yes the Lagos governor is doing a good job, but so would some of the other governors, if the Nigerian state can decentralize some of the economic activities only restricted to Lagos. Tired of hearing that the economy of Lagos is bigger than the rest of the world. For country with over 200 million people, such should be said of other cities around the country.

Tell the other cities to catch up. I won’t agree with your projection that Lagos should downsize or stop developing exponentially just so that other cities won’t feel intimidated. Nahh. Let them also get with the program. God bless Nigeria

Open more seaports, build more rail transport infrastructures in the cities with the seaports then watch and see how the population will diminish

[@ahmedbabatunde8913]

Hmm, Dangote refinery was supposed to be in Ondo, moved to Ogun before finally being built in Lagos. Because the governors of the former states want what do not belong to them. Let others build their seaports if essential to their livelihood. Lagos is borrowing to develop, not a federal government projects. Lamentations will not stop Lagos from developing. ​@kenechukwuazi1804

Hopefully Sanwo Olu reads this. He's doing great but he goofed when he said the minimum transport fee in UK is 6 pounds and converting to 10k Naira. That six pounds is below minimum wage which mean people make that with 30 mins or 45mins. But how many people make 1500 an hour in Nigeria? Some of this poor people don't even making 1k naira in a day. So he goofed big time there. The transport fee should be brought down to 500.
