Where's Obasa the defacto speaker of the LSHA there now.

The Lagos state government is too commercialised i knew they would have to do something about the fare they charge for the red line for it to be viable ...The trains run almost empty because people ignored it . It is damn expensive..how can you be charging N1500 from Oyigbo to Agege for train service when the NRC charges about N700 to Ijoko and the blue buses charge about N600 to Abule egba until the recent bus increase.

Not true!
We have many unpatriotic element whose mandate is to,
1, Throw spanner(enemies within) into the wheel of progress of the country.
2, Tarnish and pull down the image of the country in the international community by deliberately spreading lies and false narrative about events.
3, Create an environment of insecurity and anarchy as a precursor to destabilize the country's unity.
Already, on a thread that displays a progressive milestone that is worthy of commendation, we can observe that the only contribution they can make is a disparaging skeptism. How then can anything progressive be associated with such folks?!

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Hausa/Fulani didn’t bring insecurity, according to Tinubu.

Highways:
Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

https://twitter.com/i/status/1150428613751320577


Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

What concerns Repentant bh with the rail. The ipobss are always criticizing their host while their state is in ruin. They even sit at home every Monday. Do you think if every region start sitting at home every Monday and cause will there people friendly environment for you to be comfortable. Blame fraudster KANU that brought the ipobbs ideology.

Today, I commissioned the newly completed Abule Egba Bus Terminal in Orile-Agege Local Council Development Area (LCDA), which is designed to enhance seamless mass transportation from this suburb to other parts of our city.

This strategic bus terminal, located near the Lagos Red Line corridor, provides a convenient route for engers to board and exit buses and connect to other transportation options.

This project marks another significant milestone in my istration’s commitment to upgrading Lagos’ public transportation system with modern, sustainable infrastructure that meets the commuting needs of our citizens.

Our vision is to enhance mobility and stimulate urban and economic growth through interconnected transportation networks, offering residents various commuting options by rail, water, or land.

To further improve access to intracity rail transport, I announced a 30% reduction in fares for the Lagos Red Line service, lowering costs from N1,500 to N1,000.

I am also pleased to share that we expect new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electric buses to arrive by the third quarter of this year, which will expand our fleet, increase bus availability, and reduce waiting times at bus stops.


I urge residents to take ownership of this project, as it has been made possible through your tax contributions. Please take pride in it, protect it, and ensure it remains safe from harm. By safeguarding these assets, we can all benefit from their long-term value and continue to build a better future for our community.
