Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced over 10 policy measures aimed at alleviating economic challenges faced by residents.
These measures include a 3-day work week for civil servants, a 25% reduction in transport costs, Sunday Markets offering affordable food items, and free healthcare services benefiting over 50,000 women annually.
Sanwo-Olu made this announcement during a media chat with journalists on Thursday in Lagos, revealing plans for collaborative initiatives with neighboring states like Ogun and Oyo, showcasing a dedication to regional development.
“In our quest for a safer Lagos, over 200 unsafe structures have been demolished, prioritizing the safety of over 1 million residents. Major changes have happened at Obalende, Oshodi, Agege, Ijora and other areas. Our commitment to law and order is unwavering, ensuring a lawful and secure environment for all.
“I am a big advocate for state policing and the Lagos Neighbourhood Agency has over 5000 officers and I have given approval for more to be employed. If the Federal Government approves full state policing, we will be ready to deploy 10,000 men with more training,” he said.
The governor further emphasized on unity during challenging times and promising ongoing updates as more solutions developed.
