Lagos state Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode Tuesday inaugurated a 20-member transition committee that would be saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a seamless transition to the next administration on May 29, 2019.
Inaugurating the committee, Ambode, who was represented by the secretary to the state government, Mr Tunji Bello, said a smooth transition to the next administration was imperative to ensure that the machinery of government continues to run smoothly without any hitch, considering the economic importance of Lagos to Nigeria.
“In about seven weeks from now, the tenure of this administration will come to an end and a new administration will commence under the leadership of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“A smooth transition to the next administration is imperative to ensure that the machinery of government continues to run smoothly. Our state is a delicate one with very significant importance in the economic and social stability to our nation.
“To maintain this stability, build on the solid status of our state and give the next administration a smooth take-off, it is imperative to quickly put in place a transition committee whose major responsibility will be to ensure a seamless transition to the next administration come May 29, 2019,” Ambode said.
He commended Lagosians for keeping faith with the progressive ideals of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last two decades and also his administration, expressing optimism that the incoming administration would build on the achievements recorded so far.
