Mr Emmanuel Bamigboye, the Executive Chairman of Mushin Local Government in Lagos State, assures Nigerians of hopeful economic development in the administration of Sen. Bola Tinubu.
According to him, this is because of his antecedents as Governor of Lagos State.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that as the May 29 swearing-in of the newly elected president and Vice-President of the country approaches, there have been mixed feelings among citizens.
The feelings are basically on expectations from the new administration under the leadership of Tinubu and his capability to revive and stabilise the dwindling economy of the country.
Bamigboye in his analysis on Thursday during a news conference said that he had confidence in the leadership of Tinubu which starts from May 29, 2023.
The council chairman said that the combined private and public sector experience gathered by the former governor would prepare him well for the task to manage the country’s economy.
According to him, the tactical approach engaged by him to increase the revenue generation of Lagos State from N600 million to N5 billion per month during his tenure as governor of the state will help him succeed.
“He also increased the local council authorities from 20 Local Government to 57 to bring the government closer to the people at the grassroots in Lagos; all these will allow the citizens enjoy the dividends of democracy.
“Having combined his private sector experience with the public service, he is well equipped with what it takes to manage the resources of Nigeria and revive the economy of the country for prosperity,” Bamigboye said (NAN)
