Info Access Plus Limited has branded as false and
misleading stories on social media that former
governor of Lagos state , Babatunde Fashola
spent a whooping N78 million on a webiste ,
www . tundefashola . com, noting that, the site is an
official website and not a personal one.
The statement then went on to detail how the
website has disseminated information Fashola ’ s
time as governor of the state .
Below is the statement in full :
Our attention is drawn to the Twitter campaign
alleging that the Lagos State Government (LASG ) ,
led by His Excellency , Babatunde Raji Fashola,
SAN spent seventy eight million naira ( N78M ) to
upgrade the www . tundefashola . com web site, a
site dedicated to giving citizens unfettered access
to the Governor’ s daily activities and open access
to information .
It is imperative to state here that , the website in
question is not Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola’ s
personal website but an official website which
reports and documents his official activities as a
way of socially accounting for his stewardship to
the people of Lagos State .
This initiative of having an official website for the
Governor was to build on the earlier commitment
to open access which saw Governor Fashola
being the first serving governor to publish his
telephone number on the pages of newspapers .
As pressure mounted on that number , the website
and all of its social media handles became
alternative platforms for people to directly engage
with their elected governor .
While we do not hold brief for the Lagos State
Government, the selective loading of contracts
awarded and executed by the Lagos State Public
Procurement Agency is itself suspect and aimed
at a pre -determined end. The statement of the
Contract Line Item and the cost ascribed on the
website of the agency are therefore misleading
and mischievous.
For avoidance of doubt, we are by this medium
therefore laying bare the facts for the public :
Introduction
The former Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde
Fashola, SAN , set out to streamline easy access
to himself , while in office and to document his
activities for the citizens .
From 2008 and up till May 29, 2015, the
www . tundefashola . com web site has processed
thousands of press releases /speeches , more than
6 million pictures , thousands of videos to
generate world class , content- rich online
information collaterals for the former Governor of
Lagos State , Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN .
The same www . tundefashola . com web site
provides great opportunities for the Lagos State
Government, as it collates all activities of the
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola ,
SAN, and his government during his two terms.
What Did LASG Get For the alleged “N 78M ”?
5m was quoted for the upgrade of the
www . tundefashola . com web site, which includes
complete re- design of all the hundreds of page
templates. Meanwhile , the LASG spent less than
N10m on this and not N78 M being bandied on the
social around.
Info Access Plus Limited will provide free
technical support for the entire life cycle of the
web site.
Info Access Plus Limited will manage the contents
of the site, which consist of press releases ,
speeches , photos , videos, etc for one year .
Info Access Plus Limited developed and managed
the first and only web -based 1-year Countdown
Clock to May 29, 2015 on a 24 -hourly basis off
the back of this same service cost for a period of
1 year from 2014 to May 29 , 2015 .
Info Access Plus Limited developed mobile apps
for the top four platforms, namely Apple iOS,
Google Play , Microsoft Windows Phone 8 and
Blackberry World off the back of this same
service cost . .
Info Access Plus Limited will provide free
technical support throughout the life cycles of all
these mobile apps also off the back of this same
service cost .
For the Records
In addition, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN,
personally paid for the www . brforg. org web site,
even when he was the Lagos State Governor. He
felt that www . brforg . org is the online presence of
his Non -Governmental Organization , BRF
Organization. Again , we state for the records , that
the website in question is the official website of
the Governor of Lagos State and not Mr.
Babatunde Raji Fashola’ s personal website as
being disparagingly alleged by the campaigners .
Quality Software Development Takes Serious
Effort , Time and Resources
According to Bloomberg , the Obamacare
Enrollment System web site costs more than $2
Billion ( http : //www . bloomberg. com/news/
articles/2014 -09 -24 /obamacare-website -costs-
exceed -2 -billion - study- finds ) .
According to the YCharts , the Annual Facebook
Cost of Goods Sold for December 31 , 2014 , is
$2. 153 B ( http: //ycharts . com /companies/FB /
cost_ of _goods _sold _annual ) from revenue of
$12. 47B ( http: //ycharts . com /companies/FB /
revenues _annual ) .
According to the same YCharts , the Annual
Twitter Cost of Goods Sold for December 31,
2014, is $446 . 31 M (http : //ycharts . com/
companies/TWTR/cost_ of _ goods_ sold _ annual )
from revenue of $1. 403 B ( http: //ycharts . com /
companies/TWTR/revenues _ annual) .
According to the same YCharts , the Annual
Microsoft Cost of Goods Sold for December 31 ,
2014, is $33 . 04B (http : //ycharts . com/companies/
MSFT/cost _of _goods _sold _annual ) from revenue
of $93 . 58 B (http : //ycharts . com/companies/
MSFT/revenues _ annual ) .
According to the same YCharts , the Annual
Google Cost of Goods Sold for December 31 ,
2014, is $25 . 69B (http : //ycharts . com/companies/
GOOG/cost _of _goods _sold _annual ) from revenue
of $66 B (http : //ycharts . com /companies/GOOG/
revenues _annual ) .
According to the same YCharts , the Annual Apple
Cost of Goods Sold for December 31 , 2014 , is
$112. 26B ( http : //ycharts . com/companies/AAPL/
cost_ of _goods _sold _annual ) from revenue of
$182. 80B ( http : //ycharts . com/companies/AAPL/
revenues _annual ) .
All these private sector driven Operating Costs
still run into several billions , while taking serious
effort to reduce waste .
It ’ s evident from these stated facts that good
products take huge amount of planning, time and
resources.
Was the Facebook built and maintained with less
than $500 , 000? Anyone making this claim is
dubious.

What Is So SpeciaL About The Website That He Has To Spend 70m Or even 10m? When They Dont Labour For The Money Themselves

Smh

These people are seriously high on cow dung. 10million naira on a single website? not to tslk of the earlier said 78 million naira. we are in a country where bigotry and tribal resentments have blurred our view sight. I hope Efcc invites this man for questioning. If this iz how they waste our resources on irrelevant and piffling things. What a nation......

78 million and 10 million naira for a website.....what is the difference? All is still misappropriation, stealing, corruption and breach of trust.
We like BFR but this is absurd.

Do good for good to come your way

Mr Buhari will not see this one to send efcc after him now. thieves every where masqurading as leaders while our youths are surfering everyday no work.

Is fash a theif?not believable.

Fashola, there is God oo!
