Activists’ Impression About Sanwo-Olu’s Scorecards Positive

Human rights activists and pro-democracy Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), have individually and collectively have expressed satisfaction that performance of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s performance in his two years in office is highly impressive and satisfactory so far.

The activists, who expressed their feelings during a random sampling of their opinions individually, gave the governor a pat on the back for a job being well done just as they congratulated the people of Lagos on their wisdom in voting for Sanwo-Olu in 2019.

Setting the ball of opinions rolling was the renowned public commentator and social analyst, Comrade Razaq Olokoba, who described the governor as an all-round achiever, saying, there is no sector of the economy that he has not touched in terms of performance.

The highly impressed activist recalled his brilliant performance during the advent of the dreaded coronavirus pandemic which he handled and still handled to the admiration of the people reminding that, “his performance against the killer monster caught the attention of two international bodies-the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nation (UN), that eventually commended him for a job well done.”

Olokoba, who is the National President of Campaign for Dignity in Governance (CDG), stated that, the governor’s performance has won him the Dignity Awards severally, saying, “up to date, he has not disappointed us.”

Another contributor, Comrade James Adeyemi of the Black Youth Vanguard (BYV), asked our reporter, “Which aspect of Sanwo-Olu’s performance do you want me to comment on?” saying, “his achievement in less than two years has been too numerous to for me to start itemising now.”

According to him, if we are to talk about transformation of transportation system under him, the whole day would not be sufficient to enumerate his footprints, asking rhetorically, “where will I start? Would I start from the reformation of road transportation, Rail system or waterway reformation?”

“As far as I am concerned,” Adeyemi continued, “by the time he rendered his account of stewardship in a few days, nobody would be left in doubt that Sanwo-Olu is a God sent to the good people of Lagos State,” adding however that, “improvement has the largest room in the world.”

Convener of the Labour & Workers Welfare Advocacy Center, Comrade Omobanke Razak’s area of interest in the governor’s achievements is the infrastructural development that provides jobs for the teeming youth of the state, commending the governor for moving a lot of people, mostly the youth out of the street.

According to him, wherever infrastructures like road, bridges and housing are being developed, workers are bound to be engaged and paid, pointing out that, “the multiplier effects of such, apart from guaranteed daily bread, is a reduction in crime rate since idle hands are devil’s workshop.”

Omobanke also expressed the delight that, in addition to provision of jobs for the people through the development of infrastructure, Sanwo-Olu has also promised enforcement of occupational guidelines in workplaces to ensure the safety and guarantee the welfare of the workers, reminding that payment of salaries and other allowances of workers are done regularly.

Concluding, the happy activist observed that, “now that the governor has urged parastatals to also raise the bar for service delivery, the state is in for further good time,” asserting that, “with that, there would be an all-round enjoyment for the residents and the labour force in the state reputed to be the Centre of Excellence.”

Comrade Omolola Olukayode, who leads the Nigeria Peace Advocacy Group (NYAG), in his contribution praised Governor Sanwo-Olu for his efforts at seeing that the state is secured observing that, that has gone a long way in guaranteeing safety of lives and properties as well as guaranteeing peaceful co-existence among the residents of the state that are from different background ethnically, religiously and socially.
