I took part in the Lagos State Governorship Debate and used the opportunity to share my vision for Lagos and speak about the practical steps we intend to take to improve the lives of our people.
Leadership is about understanding what matters to people and making sure our plans respond to those needs.
Healthcare remains a major priority. I want to expand Ilera Eko from its current 1.4 million enrollees to reach one in every three Lagosians. We will complete the Massey Children’s Hospital, Ojo and Somolu General Hospitals, expand capacity across our nine general hospitals and strengthen our primary healthcare centres, with more operating round the clock. This will go hand in hand with better training and welfare for our health workers.
I also spoke about making homeownership easier for more families. Beyond completing our ongoing housing estates, we will introduce a more accessible mortgage system that allows people to spread their payments over several years.
On transportation, we will stay the course with our rail development plans. The Blue Line will extend to Okokomaiko, while the Red Line will connect to the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts at the National Theatre.
These are not just promises about projects. They are about giving families better access to healthcare, creating more opportunities to own a home and making daily life easier for people across Lagos.
This is what The Lagos PROMISE stands for:
P for People First.
R for Renewal.
O for Opportunity.
M for the Machinery of Government.
I for Inclusion.
S for Security and Resilience.
E for Everyday Dignity.
These seven pillars guide our commitment to putting people at the centre of governance, creating opportunities, improving infrastructure and building a Lagos where everyone has a chance to live a better life.
I remain committed to listening to Lagosians, building on the progress we have made and delivering a future that works for all.

"No big deal" is where I disagree.
Yes, going back to orthodoxy isn't rocket science. But the textbook was always available, and previous governments knew it too.
Doing it is the hard part, especially fuel subsidy removal and FX unification, given the landmines in our political terrain.
The audacity is where the bulk of the praise should go.
Going orthodox isn't automatic success either. Turkey went back to it and inflation is still near 30%.
And you're right that FPI is hot money, sensitive to rate differentials. That's one reason nobody should be chanting victory.
Egypt, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Argentina, Kenya, Senegal and a host of others are going through one thing or another.
These interventions gave us the lifeline we needed to survive the doldrums we were headed for.
It's a 3 year reform and it has come with the expected attendant issues. Starting was good, but there's no victory chant until we ameliorate the spike in poverty, food insecurity and inflation.
Is it Uhuru yet? Not quite. We're probably still on the tarmac, yet to be airborne.
Exaggerated? Also not quite.
A lot can be done better, and I do think they are well equipped to rise to the occasion.
There is no big deal in what PBAT has done, really.
Turkey is hardly a country we should be using as a benchmark for sound economic management. In fact, during the previous administration, it was one of the countries we frequently referenced when discussing how not to manage an economy.
Turkey's recurring currency crises were partly a consequence of its unorthodox monetary policy, particularly the decision to lower interest rates in the face of high inflation.
What PBAT has essentially done is reverse that policy direction. He has moved away from an approach that was clearly unsustainable. That is not necessarily some extraordinary economic feat. It is a return to a more conventional monetary policy framework.
And it should not surprise anyone that the subsequent FX market stabilisation has been supported significantly by foreign portfolio investment inflows, which are particularly sensitive to interest rate differentials and the returns available in the domestic market.

I don't think many Nigerians understand what PBAT and his team pulled with the Naira. Not only did they stabilise the Naira around its real value, we also grew our trade balance surplus and grew our reserves from about $4bn to over $50bn! Somehow we have those that claim PBAT has "failed." It's ridiculous.

The future of transportation in Lagos is taking shape and we are making steady progress.
Phase 2 of the Lagos Blue Line Rail Project will extend the existing line from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko, bringing six new stations and connecting more communities along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Work is progressing on the tracks, bridges and stations, with the first three stations at Festac, Alakija and Trade Fair scheduled to open by the end of February 2027.
Our vision is a Lagos where people spend less time travelling and more time living, working and building their future.
We are turning that vision into reality, one project at a time.

To build a successful business you must be willing to trade predictable paycheck and structured career path for high ambiguity and financial risk

I believe the FX Subsidy regime was crazier than the Petrol Subsidy regime. Watch this video by yours truly that explains why.

When people take pictures in places like this in Cape Town, it’s considered aesthetic. But when Wike constructs a new road in Apo and people start taking pictures and posting them, it suddenly becomes a problem.
I honestly don’t understand why some people hate Nigeria so much!
