“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.” – Albert Schweitzer.
The above quote is the secret behind the energy that drives the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Tourism, Arts and Culture, Hon. Solomon Saanu Bonu (SSB). It drives him so well that in the State Executive Cabinet, he is referred to as Commissioner for Badagry. You cannot downplay his love for Badagry and his people. He has chosen to be a helping hand Badagrians can turn to.
This is what drove him to give hope a place in the lives of Mr and Mrs Amos Bamijoko of Tako area of Ajara Isalu who almost sold their 12 years old 4 bedroom apartment due to their inability to fund it’s roofing. This is another story of humanity at its peak.
“I approached Hon Bonu for the purpose of selling my house because I was unable to roof it for 12yrs. I hope if I can get a buyer, I will then use the proceed to rent a small apartment conducive for living. To my surprise, he offered to help roof the house. Hon Bonu is a new breed of politician. Most that I know will take advantage of your situation to buy your property at a very cheap price but he saw an opportunity to keep hope alive in me. For this I say thank you.”
Hon Solomon Saanu Bonu (SSB) derives joy and satisfaction in the peace, progress, and prosperity of Badagrians. This explains the school of thought that drives him.
