But funny enough many of the ors handling the light up project always cut corners and only put on the light when they hear officials of the Miniistry of works are around for inspections while others just put it on from 7pm and put it off by 10 pm instead of 6 am the next day in a bid to make more profit

Ambode is a performer,
but I would say that Continuity in Lagos has really paid off, Fashola picked the baton from Tinubu and handed it to Ambode and all have been running the race well.
Continuity in Governance Pays off.
Lagos has set the example
