Sanwo-Olu Celebrates 2024 Achievements and Outlines Plans for Lagos in 2025
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has extended a heartfelt New Year’s message to the people of Lagos, applauding their resilience, innovation, and unity throughout 2024.
He spoke about the remarkable progress Lagos made over the past year and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to building a Greater Lagos that works for all.
Reflecting on 2024, Sanwo-Olu celebrated key achievements that propelled Lagos forward.
Among these were the launch of the Red Line Rail, a project aimed at revolutionizing urban transportation, and the expansion of the Blue Line operations, which has provided Lagosians with a more efficient commuting option.
The governor also pointed to groundbreaking strides in health, education, and youth empowerment, noting that these initiatives have cemented Lagos as a hub of progress and innovation.
Governor Sanwo-Olu described Lagos as “not just a city, but an energy, a movement, and a promise.”
He called on Lagosians to continue working together, promising that his administration would deliver on the trust they have placed in him.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
