Infrastructure, Bola Tinubu will still tower over the other candidates. Meeting an infrastructural deficit Lagos, Asiwaju immediately understand that infrastructure would be the lifeblood of a re-engineered Lagos. Now while the Labour candidate cannot point to a majority of roads constructed under his watch as all appear to have been washed away only eight years after he handed over to his successor. same cannot be said about Tinubu who’s infrastructural drive has outlived his tenure and has seen a succession with successive administrations who have continually improved on such a plan. It is on record that Tinubu completed over 350 road projects, works which were strategic in nature and opened up the state for a heavy inflow of investment and trade.
Such road projects will include Brown Road to Thomas Animashaun Street in Surulere where I was raised as a child and young teenager. Alakuko, Ojokoro; and Aniyaloye/Edidi/Adegboyega/Fatai Bello, Ifelodun, Irede, Amuwo-Odofin; Owuto Ajaguro.

How can we forget that the Bus Rapid Transit Scheme was an initiative of the same Tinubu helping half the traffic gridlock on Lagos roads, saving travel time as well as provide affordable, safer and a much comfortable means of transportation.
