Lagos
State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Monday unveiled plans to
commence a quarterly rendering of account of stewardship of his
administration to intimate Lagosians on the journey so far as well as
his plans to take the state to the next level.
The
Governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib
Aruna, said the quarterly rendering of account which will take the form
of town hall meetings, will take the government to the nooks and
crannies of the state to present its account of stewardship.
He said
the town hall meetings will not only afford his administration the
opportunity to render its account, it would also go a long way to feel
the pulse of the people and get firsthand knowledge of their needs and
concerns.
“The
maiden edition of our quarterly report will be rendered in the first
week of October and would continue in that tradition every three months
going forward. At the end of each quarter, our government would report
to the people of the state on the journey so far and the task ahead,” he
said.
He said
his administration’s efforts in the last three months had been geared
towards making sure that public institutions work in the interest of the
people, alluding to the fact that public institutions had been animated
to measure up to the expectations of the people of the state.
“We are
committed to making the various public institutions work to the benefit
of the people of the state. That, in my view, is why we were elected.
“So our
government will use the town hall meetings to get feelers from the
populace on how government affects them and what they want from
government. The populace will also have the opportunity to know what we
have been doing and what we intend to do to make the state safer,
cleaner and more prosperous for all who have chosen this state as their
home,” Ambode said.
