👍🏾@LSETF Pleasure joining partners from @ilo @giz_gmbh @USADF and the British Deputy High Commission on this panel. If we sustain and scale-up our collective efforts, and government and private sector stakeholders join in, we can surely create more jobs. @PINDFoundation @_NDLink

@edward_wonder I was actually having this conversation as I went around Lagos especially Lekki, Ikoyi, V/I, Yaba, S/L, Ebute Metta, and Ikeja a number of times in the past months. Almost everywhere looked cluttered, choked, chaotic, and about to collapse. 🙆🏾‍♂️ @jidesanwoolu @LASG @followlasg

Ikoyi is known as one of the richest and most exclusive neighbourhoods in Nigeria. It has luxury homes, big offices, and high property values. But the environment tells a different story. There are open drainage channels along the roads. Many gutters are filled with dirt, stagnant water, and waste. In some places, the smell from these drains is strong and unpleasant. This leads to an important question: If Ikoyi one of the wealthiest areas in the country, can have open drains, dirty gutters, and bad odour, what would we find in places with fewer resources like Okokomaiko, Sangotedo, or Ikotun? Clean and well-maintained drainage is not about luxury. It is about health, safety, and proper city management. #ikoyi #environment #lagosstate

⁦@jidesanwoolu⁩ @followlasg⁩, this needs concerted measures to get Lagos citizens to behave or it nullifies all your branding efforts. Involve LGAs, elected reps, & chiefs ⁦⁩ Umahi laments destruction of road infrastructure by vandals gazettengr.com/umahi-laments-…

Thanks @jidesanwoolu @LASG Looking forward to some concrete and speedy action.

This is the common practice and situation: gridlock almost 24/7, brazen impunity. End this pain, please fix this expressway especially from Marwa to Ikota.

Why is d Lekki-Ajah corridor so decrepit? Hardly any good stretch of road, flooding, and traffic almost 24/7! Is this some form of punishment? This strategic stretch leads to d @DangoteRefinery, trade zone, tourist attractions, & connects Ogun State. Haba!@jidesanwoolu @LASG

@followlasg @lshaofficial @jidesanwoolu With December approaching, what image will we project to the world. Please find funds now and fix this road.

“Next time you feel tempted to join the chorus… Pause. Reflect. Be the voice of reason.”

Leaders don’t just echo—they listen, question, and weigh all sides. Next time you feel tempted to join the chorus, pause. Reflect. Be the voice of reason, not just another echo. #Leadership #CriticalThinking #DecisionMaking

Mob justice isn’t justice. One post drops, and suddenly the online crowd becomes judge, jury & executioner—no facts, no balance, just outrage on repeat. We must learn to pause before we echo.

@mikeachimugu01 Good. While at it, to ascertain consistency in handling things, looking t this should help too: legit.ng/people/1668918…

Any person who was a passenger on that Ibom Air Uyo-Lagos flight (IAN513) and witnessed the events that led to the fracas should, as a matter of urgency and fairness, reach out to me via DM or michael.achimugu@ncaa.gov.ng Once verified that you were actually a passenger on that flight, we can discuss and try to understand other perspectives to this issue. In the interest of justice and fairness, it is necessary to hear both sides of the story. Of course, this does not negate the exhibition of unruly behaviour and its ramifications, but it will ensure that every other person who was culpable down the line is held accountable. We will also be sending our officers in Lagos on a fact-finding mission to the police and other security personnel who were part of the entire chain of events. Finally, one hopes that lessons are learned from all of these events and that the necessary adjustments and improvements are implemented by all stakeholders; passengers, airline staff, aviation security, etc. It is a test for the system. No matter how fine regulations are, human behaviour will always be unpredictable. When these events occur, we are able to see the gaps and pluck loopholes. At the end of it all, the message remains the same; IN AVIATION, IT IS SAFETY FIRST, SAFETY SECOND, AND SAFETY THIRD.

At the KEFFESO HCDT Stakeholder Forum, the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, Ph.D., emphasized the importance of unity and responsible management of the 3% PIA allocation for sustainable development.
