Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has tasked heads of parastatals in the State on quality performance, urging them to work tirelessly as a team to make Lagos better than the way they met it.

Sanwo-Olu implored the State’s personnel to work as a team to deliver good governance and dividends of democracy to citizens of Lagos State, who are appointed to serve in different capacities as heads of government agencies.

Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executive Officers of parastatals at the Lagos House, Ikeja on Tuesday, Governor Sanwo-Olu said they have crucial roles to play in the Lagos project and therefore urged them not to rest on their oars until the greater Lagos is achieved.

“You must work as a team because you all have a role to play in good governance in Lagos State. The citizens are looking at us. There is a trophy to be earned. There is a medal to take away. There are people that truly believe that we can make their lives a lot better. Let us make Lagos better than how you met it. We must go out to do it and not disappoint them. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot achieve as a state,” he said.

Speaking at the event, Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, said the vision in Lagos is to make Lagos Africa’s model megacity, a global economy and financial hub that is safe and secure.

He therefore advised heads of parastatals in the State to relate with one another in order to succeed, adding that they must all scale up their activities in their respective agencies by springing up to their responsibilities.

In a paper titled “Private sector management strategies for government parastatals” presented by Publisher of Complete Football and Complete Sports, Dr. Mumini Alao, likened government parastatals to a football team where every individual has a role to play in delivering good governance and dividends of democracy to the people.
