Sanwo-Olu pledges inclusive leadership

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has stated that during his second term in office, his administration will place an emphasis on “human-centric” governance in addition to an inclusive approach to governance.

The governor reaffirmed his dedication to ensuring that the THEMES+ initiative leaves no one behind in the governance structure, and he made a commitment to ensure that both soft and hard infrastructure would receive the necessary amount of attention.

At the thanksgiving service held for him and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, on the occasion of their second term inauguration, Sanwo-Olu gave a speech on Sunday. The event took place at the Cathedral Church of Christ in Marina, Lagos.

He stated that, “It will certainly be a second term before Lagosians should expect a great deal more from us.” What we have committed to delivering is a THEMES+ agenda that places an emphasis on people. It is an agenda that takes into account everything that is included in THEMES’ agenda and adds to it a bigger flavour, a plus component, which will ensure that no one is left behind on its own.

“We have learned from the previous four years, and we want to build a better inclusive governance in which not only will we be doing a lot of hard infrastructure, but we also want to do a lot of soft infrastructure since that will touch the lives of our people directly; more specifically, palliatives that will bring succour and better relief for our citizens even in a difficult time with global economic issues. ”

“Our citizens need to understand that although the government cannot do everything, we need to be able to bring them out of poverty and speak to what their needs are. Despite the fact that the government cannot do everything, our citizens need to understand this. As a result, it is a human-centered agenda with the intention of ensuring that no one, regardless of gender, race, or religious affiliation, will be left behind. And for that, we will not absolve ourselves of responsibility.”
