The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has told the newly
elected local government officials to do all that lies within their
powers to ensure they fulfill their electoral promises to the people.
Ambode made this known at the swearing-in ceremony of the new chairmen in Ikeja, the state capital.
He said: “To the newly elected chairmen, the conclusion of the
electoral process marks the beginning of real governance which has been
activated by your swearing-in today. It is now time for hard work and
the fulfilment of all promises you made to our people.
“People have voted and discharged their responsibilities, it is now
your turn to discharge your part of the social contract. Let me remind
you all that you are assuming the mantle of leadership at a time when
our people expect so much”.
Meanwhile, the governor commended the Court of Appeal ruling in Lagos
which set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court that empowered
the Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority to regulate transportation and
sand dredging in the state.
He expressed hope that the development would go a long way to aid the
efforts of the Lagos State government in abating flood across the
state.
