A Lagos-based group, Asiwaju National Forum, says the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has been able to reduce poverty in Lagos State in just three months.
The group, therefore, lauded Ambode’s style of governance which has given more power to the civil servants in the state.
The coordinator of the group, Seyi Bamigbade, said this in a statement, on Monday.
He said through the revival of dilapidated infrastructure in Lagos, Ambode had moved Lagos closer to attaining the Lagos Vision 2020.
The Lagos Vision 2020 a 10-year development plan which is aimed at rapid social and infrastructural development, provision of employment and poverty reduction.
According to the coordinator of the group, Seyi Bamigbade, it important for Lagosians to continue to keep faith with the man who is already fulfilling his campaign promises.
He said Ambode’s approach to governance in relation to the civil service is better than that of his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola.
He added, “Ambode’s style of governance is significantly different from his predecessor’s because unlike Fashola, Ambode allows heads of agencies to take initiatives and react to issues as professionals. He is also engaging the civil service more than what we saw in the administration of the former governor.”
“He has also demonstrated his commitment to the development plan of the state anchored on social development and security, infrastructural and economic development as well as sustainable environment.”
