•Award will encourage us to do more - Governor

The President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, has commended Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for winning the New Telegraph Governor of The Year 2021 (Good Governance).

Speaking at the New Telegraph Newspapers awards ceremony held at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island on Friday night, Senator Lawan who won the Lifetime in Politics Award, said Governor Sanwo-Olu is an excellent example of what a focused administration can achieve.

“To whom much is given, much is expected. These awards certainly are meant to make us do better going forward. Our executive governors have done extremely well with very little resources. I want to commend our governors for doing so well.

“Our Host Governor (Babajide Sanwo-Olu) is an excellent example of what we can achieve in an administration that remains focused on providing development for people,” he said.
