Civil society organizations (CSOs) on Tuesday disagreed on the status of Lagos and how the policies of the government has impacted on residents of the state as the Governor Akinwumi Ambode -led government strives towards actualising the state’s quest for megacity status.
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL) and People’s Action for Democracy ((PAD) had scored the Governor Akinwumi Ambode-led Lagos State Government high on infrastructure development projects in it’s first year in office.
CACOK and PAD The CSOs praised the current administration and noted that it had succeeded in putting in place people -friendly projects in the period under review compared to it’s predecessor led by Mr. Babatunde Fashola whose polices seemed to be anti-people.
The CSOs however advised the administration to reverse the ban on commercial motorcycle operations and street trading both of which they noted the government has not provided an alternative to. They also advised the state government to reverse the imposition of taxes on the downtrodden residents of the state if it wants to continue enjoying the goodwill of the people.
