The Punch reports that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president of Nigeria, is pleased with the advancements Lagos State has made in the last 25 years and attributes this to the hard work and vision of his team in turning the state into a reputable megacity and a major economic hub in Africa. He highlights the significance of having large dreams and remaining development-focused.
He said, “Twenty-five years ago, I was elected to lead Nigeria’s most populous state, the smallest in land mass, when all that existed here was suppressed and aborted potential, and when the dream began, my team and I toiled day and night to draft and implement a developmental vision that would transform Lagos into the economic powerhouse of Africa and a respected mega-city on a global state. We are realising that dream.
I am pleased to declare to you that the momentum of greatness we kick-started a quarter of a century ago has since become unstoppable. It’s not a crime to dream and dream big, just stay focused, precisely make development a central focus.”
