Al-Mustapha said: “Lagos is a mini Nigeria. It is the fifth largest economy in Africa that boasts of seventy countries.

“He was also able to hugely transform the internally generated revenue system in the state, hence was able to achieve myriad of development.”

“It is a reincarnation of the government of the former Governor of the state, Sen. Aliyu Wamakko who held sway between 2007 and 2015.

“There was colossal development in all the sectors of the economy of the state ranging from agriculture, education, economy, Science and Technology, health , water resources and housing, among others,” he added.

Al-Mustpha also recalled that the defunct Wamakko’s administration initiated various policies and programnes that reduced the poverty level in the state.
