Our Agenda Speakers To The Needs Of Lagosians — Sanwo-Olu

 The Lagos State Governor, Mr Ba­bajide Sanwo-Olu has described his administration’s activities as one that looks directly into the needs of the people of Lagos.

He said his government has narrowed its agenda to critical areas that have helped to grow and develop the State.

Sanwo-Olu stated this when he received the British High Com­missioner, Mr Richard Montgom­ery at the Lagos House, Marina on Thursday.

In a statement signed by Gben­ga Akosile, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Sanwo-Olu noted that the admin­istration’s T.H.E.M.E.S.+ agenda in the last five years has focused on the economy, stating that all the pillars attend to the yearning and demands of the people of Lagos.

According to Sanwo-Olu, “Ours is a government that is working for the people. So we have driven an economic agenda in the last five years, and we believe all of the pillars speak to the needs of the people in critical areas where we believe growth and develop­ment can happen.

“We have given businesses the pathway to flourish, the opportu­nity to do well and generally, just create a peaceful, secure and safe environment for everyone to do well,” he said.

Governor Sanwo-Olu de­scribed the relationship between Lagos and the British High Com­mission as positive and progres­sive, adding that the long presence of the new High Commissioner in Nigeria and Lagos State will definitely be of immense value.

He assured the High Commis­sioner of the continued support of Lagos State Government in all areas of interest to the embassy while noting that existing bene­fits shall be deepened for mutual satisfaction.

According to Mr Governor, “Given the long history, you know that our two nations have enjoyed several decades’ bilateral support, and more importantly the rela­tionship we have with the deputy High Commissioners Office here in Lagos have been great.

“Over the last five, six years, we’ve continued to receive your support. We have continued to see a mutually beneficial relation­ship, and we believe that during your time, possibly, we are hope­ful that we would also build better synergy together,” he added.
