“The implementation and disbursement of your administration’s N25 billion Employment Trust Fund has benefitted many artisans and entrepreneurs in the state.
“As respite for the Lagos populace during the 2016 Yuletide period, your administration launched the affordable Lagos-Kebbi (LAKE Rice) which many residents benefitted from.
“The country’s economic recession notwithstanding, Lagos continues to generate impressive internal revenue under your watch.
“The Party is proud to identify with you as you work assiduously to establish Lagos the ‘State of Excellence’ as a city-state which ranks among the best in the world.”
