The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has stated that he has delivered on his electoral promises to Lagosians as he prepares to bow out of office.
The governor, at the celebration of his 2,900 days in office to give account of his stewardship at the Lagos Television Ground, Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, on Thursday said he was grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve the state.
Fashola cited several areas his administration had delivered the divdends of democracy to the people since he took over eight years ago.
The governor mentioned WEMPCO Road, Anthony Enahoro Estate and several housing projects under the Lagos Homes Ownership Scheme and several others.
In the area of transportation, Fashola said the reduction of death arising from accidents involving motorcycle taxi also known as okada, had been reduced to the barest minimum as a result of restriction of commercial motorcycle operators to some routes, among others.
Fashola said his task is almost done as the Governor-elect, Akinwumi Ambode, prepares to take over.
He apologised to those he has offended in the last eight years, but noted that all decisions he took were in the interest of Lagosians.
According to him, there was no way he would not have offended some people in the course of carrying out his responsibility as a governor to the people of Lagos, asking for forgiveness from those offended.
He assured that those he could not reach would be reached by Ambode, while thanking Lagosians for their support.
