I am excited to announce the first set of electric buses in the Lagos Mass Transit Master Plan as part of our increased effort to modernise every sector of Lagos. Thanks to our partnership with @Oando_PLC, Lagosians can expect a cleaner and greener public transportation system. With the ability to travel 280km at full charge, taking into account our unique travel times in Lagos, our electric buses are a game-changer. With an average daily usage of 200km by existing BRTs, there is no need to fear that the buses can stop while in transit. Our new electric buses will not only reduce carbon emissions but will also increase efficiency. This means that Lagosians can say goodbye to high fuel costs and hello to cost-efficient transportation. We shall be running a pilot scheme over the next few months to gather sufficient data required to analyse the operational efficiencies relative to the current BRT buses to further improve our public transport service. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to creating a sustainable future for Lagos. We understand the need for charging stations to power our electric buses, which is why we are partnering with Oando Clean Energy Limited to strategically place Universal Chargers at public places like malls and gas stations. We also plan to establish an Assembly Plant for Electric Buses in the near future. This is just the beginning of our efforts to transform Lagos into an even smarter city as we continue to increase our fleet of electric vehicles, further modernizing the Lagos transportation system. Join us in embracing the future of mobility in Lagos.

It is a great honor to receive my Certificate of Return from INEC today. I am deeply grateful to the people of Lagos State for their overwhelming support and trust in my leadership. I want to thank the entire team that worked tirelessly during the campaign and the good people of Lagos for their unwavering support. This Certificate of Return belongs to all of us, and together we will take Lagos to greater heights. I want to reiterate my commitment to serving the people of Lagos with integrity, transparency and dedication. The task ahead is daunting, but with your support and cooperation, we can achieve great things.

I just visited the Yaba station of the Lagos Red Line Railway which runs from Oyingbo to Agbado and I'm pleased with the progress made so far. The station is at 75% completion while the vehicular flyover is at 85% completion.
