The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has reiterated his commitment to the fulfilment of all his electoral promises to Lagosians.
He made this promise as the Guest of Honour at the 2015 Ojude Oba Epe Festival which took place at the Epe Recreation Ground, Epe Local Government Area of Lagos state over the weekend.
According to the Governor, the first three months of his administration were used to set up a foundation upon which the developmental programmes to follow will rest.
He stated his commitment to building on the successes recorded by his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola, especially in the area of infrastructural development, and improving on them as time goes on.
He said: “One of the things that we did promise during the campaign is that we would continue with the infrastructural development of my predecessor and at the same time improve on it and that’s what we’ve started with areas where we feel that there are immediate palliatives that we can give, we have done that but more importantly, is for us to improve on the network in which Mr. Babatunde Fashola had actually laid down.”
Furthermore, the governor appealed to Epe residents to be calm as the government was doing everything within its power to ensure that they reap the dividends of democracy infrastructure-wise alongside other LGAs and divisions in the state.
“For Epe, you can see, in terms of the rural local governments, Epe is the most rural and in terms of the divisions, Epe is the least of all the five divisions. So for them, the best thing we can do is to increase the infrastructural development here in Epe and also help them to develop in other areas,” Ambode stated.
