The congratulatory message was issued by presidential spokesperson Mr Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday in Abuja, who rose through the political ranks under Tinubu’s mentorship, currently serves as the sixth democratically elected governor of Nigeria’s commercial capital.
Before taking the reins of Lagos Sanwo-Olu held prominent roles in public service, including Managing Director of the Lagos State Property Development Corporation.
His career also includes stints as commissioner in three vital ministries — economic planning and budget, commerce and industry, and establishments, training and pensions.
Tinubu commended Sanwo-Olu’s alignment with the master plan laid during his own governorship from 1999 to 2007, calling him a steady hand steering Lagos on a forward path.
Key accomplishments like the completion of the Blue and Red Rail lines and the active preparations for the Purple Line, which is set to serve the vital Lekki corridor, demonstrate your execution of this vision.
I urge you to sustain this trajectory by prioritizing impactful projects for Lagosians.
Particularly, focus on impactful projects that matter to Lagosians—especially the long-anticipated Fourth Mainland Bridge and the Freedom Way to Victoria Garden City (VGC) Road,” Tinubu said.
The president expressed confidence that the governor's administration would continue to improve Lagosians' lives and expressed his wish for the governor's longevity.
“I also wish you continued good health, longevity, and many more years of invaluable service to Lagos State and Nigeria,” Tinubu added. (NAN)
