Lagos can be better

Old view of Lagos.How much things have changed! Although it could have been better  with  32 years  as  Federal capital of Nigeria post independently. What it needs is imagination and political will. Apparently Lagos state have had some fine Governors, BRF inclusive there would be need for more proactive and great leaders as the Governor of Lagos continuously.

Lagosians are waiting for a Government that can turn the place to better than  what is shown below not just in Lekki or Victoria Island but in Shaha, Egbeda, Magodo, Isheri
