The governor stated this on Tuesday, March 3, while commissioning a network of roads in the Kosofe Local Government Area of the state.
If you collect Dollars, know that you have collected your security, your roads and your infrastructure,” Fashola said.
“It is demeaning, degrading and insulting that anyone who has made promises to come back and offer you money. Tell them your dignity cannot be bought by Naira or Dollars,” the governor added.
