..Promises To Complete Inherited Projects
Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu
on Monday charged members of his cabinet to come up with innovative solutions to myriad of challenges confronting the state, saying the people will not accept Covid-19 pandemic as an excuse for non-performance.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a 2-day Ministerial Performance Review Retreat, the Governor said his administration remained committed to the fulfilment of all promises made to the people, and that the cabinet members must ensure that they work in line with the thinking of the government.
“Lagosians will not accept as an excuse for non-performance. Regardless of the challenges we face, we are still committed as a government to fulfilling the promises we made.
“I, therefore, charge cabinet members and other senior officials to heighten the tempo of governance and continue to create opportunities through innovative policies that are not only inclusive but also provide sustainable solutions,” he said.
The Governor reiterated that the yardstick for performance assessment will not be based majorly on the amount of money expended but on the outcome of various interventions and impact on the lives of the citizens which they swore to serve.
“A promise we made at the inception of our administration and in line with the principle of continuity was to ensure the completion of projects inherited from the last administration.A significant part of our efforts and resources has been devoted towards fulfilling this promise,” the Governor Said.
