Yes it is an iconic city rich in history but I don't know about it being among the most beautiful.

I don't even think it comes close.

True. Also London is much more than a collection of street lights.

goodlifehyd:
More reason why things had been working in Lagos state is cuz all governors had been from same party, neglecting of projects comes in when unserious party comes to power


I would have ignored you but decided to lecture you a lil, my initial post was about lagosians enjoying continuity under APC for 16years, what did Nigeria as a whole gained under 16years of PDP misrule You need to hide your face in shame when PDP is being mentioned

It's all useless if I still get to spend my productive hours in traffics.

................unfortunately the traffic gridlock will continue for a very long while.
Reason
The money for light rail has been used to sponsor Buhari's election.

eaglechild:
We can't complete Lagos light rail project

We obviously can't complete Lekki international phantom airport.

And you will be the biggest fool to think that we can complete Eko Atlantic.

Use your head people where do you think we are getting all the money we are using to sponsor Buhari

Fellow Nairalanders, in response to Fashola comments below on not receiving enough support from the federal government to complete the Lagos light rail project.

"Fashola said all over the world, when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos is doing, their central governments support them morally and financially"[/size]

Few months ago same Fashola said this:


[size=15pt]Lagos: How We Spent N160bn World Bank Loan on Light Rail Project[/size]

The Lagos State Government yesterday justified the N160 billion it borrowed from the World Bank, noting that the fund was channelled to finance its light rail (blue line) project.

However, the state government expressed disappointment at the progress of the project, which it said, was not executed as smoothly as possible, but was optimistic of its completion.

The state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said this shortly after inspecting the light rail terminus at the Orile-Iganmu part of the state alongside some members of the state executive council.

Speaking with journalists, Fashola said the project would have been completed in another 12 months despite that the project execution was not as smooth and speedy as he wanted it.

The governor raised questions on the intention of the federal government for publishing the state debt profile in the recent time, wondering what could have informed the decision to make it public.

He said: “I think it was the Debt Management Office of the federal government that published the report that we have a debt of about N160billion. I do not know the intent of the publication.

“But if it was to inform the public, I think we have always kept the public informed anytime we borrow money. If there are other intentions behind that, only those who make the publication would know what the intentions are.

“But you see, when people talk about debt of a state like Lagos, they forget that after Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt and one other country, we have the fifth largest economy in Africa.

“When you are talking of about a billion naira debt to a population of over 21 million people; because if you are measuring the debt, you also have to measure the responsibility. Those are the things people keep in isolation.”

He, therefore, explained that the state government already “has in place, strategies to repay the loan. The federal government was in the know of the state’s decision to take the bond and it approved it.”

[size=15pt]He added that the truth “is that what they do not also say is that no state in Nigeria can borrow money outside, from any multilateral agencies without the approval of the federal government.[/size]

“What they did not say is that they approved it. No state can raise money by bond the way we have done without the federal government’s approval. [size=18pt]Both SEC and NSE are all federal regulatory agencies through which we must pass. If they said okay, it means there must be something good about the debt.
[/size]

“Our rating as a state is the same as that of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, BB minus-stable with a positive outlook. We are the only state in Nigeria that has that rating. The first bond that was taken during my first tenure has been paid; the first tranche has been paid.

“I think the second tranche will be settled around 2016 or 2017. We are already making provisions. The provisions that will be there will be in excess of what is needed,” the governor said

Fashola expressed satisfaction on the progress of the light rail project, though decried the petty delay that was encountered as a result funding, saying the project would have should have been completed in another 12 months.

One of the reasons I didn't vote for Gej was because of darkness on 3rd mainland bridge. I was moved when I saw light this week on 3rdmainland, from the beginning to the end of the bridge.

Its worthy to note that these street lights are not connected to the power grid. They are powered independently. Kudos to LASG. BRFs legacy lives on.

ladenz:


We have to give honor to whom honor is due. I'm not a fan of APC but when so many leaders are being so selfish and sucking us dry, we have to encourage those who are making an effort however little

Keep shut. Stop acting like an illiterate. The man was voted as Governor to serve. Whatever he is doing is his job and he is not using his personal funds. Ppl pay tax.

LivingDiamond:
Great work by Gov A+...But all dis street lights have been all around Lagos since the days Of fashola, so i dont still get why d credits is going to Ambode..

Most of them were not working anymore under Fashola

Ojodu Street Light also came on dis night. Thumbs up for d Governor for dis Street Lighting project. If wailers don't like dis, look for d nearest transformer and hug it.

missKiffy:
Most of them were not working anymore under Fashola

That was after Fashola STOLE billions claiming it was to light up the bridge almost three years ago.
These guys are just very smart crooks but crooks all the same.

EkoIle1:




..

Street light is a basic amenity for God's sake! It's a norm in various cities across the country. Why should it be an issue for a state that was the capital of Nigeria for decades? And you have the guts to compare it to London.
This is very embarrassing.

This is Itamaga road in Ikorodu.

Donliv:
The appropriate authority/authorities will question them.

u know we only discovered the authorities now because buhari came in.... how would it had been if PDP won again

vimi:

Vote em out n elect a capable hand to swiftly recover looted funds ASAP

iTotally understand, unfortunately Nigeria was de flowered by corruption n somehow still stuck with iit.

Pls Don't be too used to the managing whatever you get..

Ok Sir

Good job but pls he needs to looks into the health sector and put pressure on the health workers in Lagos to do their best to curb the lassa fever epidemic in the state. Heard 6 people are already dead and 467 are under surveillance in Lagos state alone...

I noticed the streetlights at wemco road, acme rd and lateef jakande rd all in ikeja. This is really nice of lagos state.

Actually, I'm not IPOB youth and will never be one. I'm from akwa-ibom and based there. But I know that in the former administration, something like that was done but wasn't sustainable and so, in this present administration, those street light are abandoned

So b4 Lagos no get light ni abi street light SMH!
