Lagos, We have done it. As I sat in the beautiful airconditioned coach today, I smiled. A promise that has kept me up at night has finally been completed. The first phase of the Blue Line Metro station running from Mile 2 to Marina has now been completed.

Fulfilled my promise today by awarding Miss Yusuf Aminat Imoitesemeh, LASU's top student, with the N10 million prize. Her 5.0 CGPA in Law at just 23 years old is a testament to her hard work and Lagos State's quality education. I also had the chance to have a meaningful

I am deeply saddened by the news of the train/bus accident . The vehicle was conveying staff of the Lagos state government, our staff who serve the state in different capacities. Let's say a prayer for the families and a prayer of mercy and protection for our state.

Watching this #SomethingNewChallenge from the patients at one of our isolation centres made my day. They created the video to show that #COVID19 isnt a death sentence but must be taken seriously. We thank our amazing health workers for their service. #StayHomeSaveLives

The joy, the prayers and the beautiful songs by groups from near and distant local governments that paid a surprise visit to Government House, Marina today was very touching. As I sang and danced with them I reiterated my message of unity, solidarity and camaraderie.
