Fashola Grooms Banire As His Successor?

With All Due Respect To Dr. Banire (A Wonderful And Hard Working Lagosian)

@ Happy Lagosian, we say let it remain a rumor, we have so much to do and we don't need unnecessary distractions, agitation and succession talk.

Eko o ni baje...

...o baje ti

Dr. Muiz Banire

Just as politicking is already in top gear towards 2011, in some states across the country, Lagos State is not left out as political undercurrent is already on as to who succeeds the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN).

A reliable political source revealed that the permutation among opinion molders in Lagos State is favourable to Dr. Muiz Banire, the current Commissioner for Environment as a good hand to carry on from wherever Fashola may stop.

Though it is yet unclear as to whether or not Governor Fashola will be contesting for the second term but the governor who has won the hearts of many Lagosians through the numerous developmental projects embarked upon by his administration is surely not ready to discuss issues of second term.

During a press conference marking the second year anniversary of Governor Raji Fashola, on Friday, May 29, 2009, when asked about his position on the issue of second term, Fashola who compared the situation to a football match, noted that he has just started the second half of his tenure and that it is out of place to ask him about next season.

According to our source, Banire who is regarded in many quarters as a disciplined politician like Governor Fashola is being groomed to take over the mantle of governorship incase Fashola decides not to contest for the second term. While he would be on a waiting list if the governor re-contest in 2011.

Dr. Muiz Banire, who read law before proceeding for his Master’s degree at the University of Lagos, was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1989. He was the Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos State during the Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s regime.

First Lady of Lagos State, Mrs. Abimbola Fashola, on Monday expressed her utmost gratitude to Lagosians for their prompt response to tax payment, attributing the several on-going projects in the State to it.

Mrs Fashola, who received staff and pupils of Pampers Private School, Surulere, Lagos, stated that Lagosians are particularly happy to see their taxes spent judiciously on vital projects within the State.

Expressing her delight with the personal persuasion of many Lagosians to pay their taxes, Mrs Fashola stated that “Everyone you meet will tell you that I am going to campaign, I will be the first person to pay my tax and I will tell my neighbours to pay theirs as well”.

The Lagos State First Lady then enlisted the pupils of Pampers Private School to gently encourage their parents to continue to pay their taxes, adding that “You must get home and ask your Moms and Dads, are they paying their taxes as well?”

Lagos Warns Churches, Mosques Over Noise.

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Worried by the unabated blaring of external loud speakers in churches and mosques across the state, the Lagos state government says it will soon begin prosecution of churches and mosques that violate the state’s environmental laws.

The government views this incessant blaring of external loud speakers by these religious bodies as nuisance to the society and vows to stop it. At a meeting with religious bodies in the state, the General Manager, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), Mr. Rasheed Shabi, frowned at the noise pollution going on in churches, mosques and among record vendors. He said government would no longer tolerate this, adding that it would soon swing into action to sanction such erring churches and mosques. According to Shabi, the situation of religious worship centres within residential areas contravenes the state’s physical planning laws and regulations.

Driving against traffic on Lagos Island has now become a serious offence.

This was made known by the legislative arm of the Lagos Island Local Government during a public hearing on environment sanitation and parking/traffic control bill which was held at the council’s secretariat.

The House Leader of the council, Hon. Makanjuola Adisasheu, stated that it was necessary to effect changes through an amendment and review of the environmental sanitation and traffic/parking bye-laws of the local government to ensure proper implementation of the law. He added that strict compliance with the laws will promote and enhance development in the area.

The lawmakers added that the law would include proper implementation of the monthly and weekly environmental sanitation exercise, prevention of flood, prevention of diseases such as malaria, fever, cholera etc., promotion of good health and the creation of a cleaner environment.

The traffic and parking bill, Makanjuola said, would cover driving against traffic (which attracts a fine of N25,000), illegal parking, abandoned vehicles on the road and some other traffic and parking laws that are meant to sanitize the traffic situation within the council area.

He stated that ignorance will not be an excuse, urging market leaders, labor union leaders and CDA leaders to pass on the message, because the government come down hard on offenders.

“Information is very important. When we talk about information, it is for the people to know about what we are doing. That is why we invited the market leaders, union leaders and CDA chairmen. These are people that are closer to the people.

Fashola insists on State police.

By Maxwell Oditta and Ekene Okoro, Lagos

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has reiterated his call for State Police as a veritable way of addressing security problem across the country.

The governor also insisted that the state deserves a special status, in view of its pivotal role in the revenue generation of the country.

Fashola said special allocation from the federation account and provision of infrastructure, as well as effective security arrangement, are part of the unique needs of Lagos.

According to him, these provisions would enhance the development of the state, and the well-being of Nigerians from different backgrounds living in Lagos.

Fashola made the call at a world press conference at Lagos House, Ikeja, at the weekend, which was convened to commemorate 10 years of democracy in Nigeria and the two years celebration of his administration.

The governor reasoned that Lagos, as the economic nerve-centre of the country, with the most strategic seaports and airport, deserves a special status.
