Akinwunmi Ambode, Lagos State governor, yesterday, lauded his predecessor and Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, for his achievements during the eight years he spent as governor of the state.
Ambode, who spoke when he received Fashola and some top officials of the Ministry on a courtesy visit to the Lagos House, Ikeja, described the occasion as historic, adding that it was gratifying to receive the Minister for the first time since he left office on May 29, 2015.
He said: “On behalf of the people of Lagos State, I would like to wholeheartedly welcome Mr. Babatunde Fashola, my predecessor and now Minister for Works, Power and Housing and especially back to the Alausa office where he actually left about 22 months ago. The governor lauded Fashola for serving Lagos meritoriously, saying his administration improved on the template already laid down during the previous administration.
“We want to say that whatever it is that we have done in the last 22 months is just more or less a fall out of the great achievements the former governor had already put in place”, he stated.
