Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday charged the new commissioners and special advisers in the state to get to work immediately and justify the responsibility that had been placed on them.
Ambode, who spoke during the swearing-in ceremony of the official, charged them to dedicate themselves to the service of the state and demanded their absolute loyalty to the government.
“To our commissioners and special advisers, this government demands your absolute loyalty.
“Your work must reflect what Lagos stands for, that is, leadership, accountability, good governance, opportunities and services.
“You are, today, being handed the reins to the government of Lagos state and together, we must fulfil the massive potentials of our state,” he said.
The governor said that the state was currently experiencing rapid urbanisation and required hard thinking solutions to develop befitting infrastructure to cater for the increasing population.
“You are to implement decisions that will combat crimes and secure our people.
“Lagosians call on you to create job opportunities for our youths and attract investments into the state,” he said.
Ambode said that in the last four months, his administration had worked hard to lay a solid foundation to drive effective governance.
