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.
