Lagos' youngest governor transforms the megacity- 22 Feb 09

Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola, has been nicknamed the 'action governor'.

The youngest person ever to run Nigeria's commercial capital, Fashola's practical approach to tackling chronic problems like poor infrastructure and healthcare means he's radically transformed Lagos in just two years.

Al Jazeera's Mark Eddo reports from Lagos.

Please you guys should please do something about this Boko Haram stuff. Better yet, maybe you should write a letter to the president to do something. He wouldn't want his own family to die an innocent death.

@tech4156 yeah right , the greed that powers NEPA isnt going anywhere soon, so frustrating ,,, on that score, not even FASHOLA can perform that miracle..

[tech4156]

nigeria needs a hell of a lot more investment and money. chinese spending $300billion on their own railways. thats more than nigeria makes in 20years. The GDP of nigeria is low all they have presently is oil. they dont use their gas/iron/aluminium/gold/sugar/­wheat/flour/cement like they should. just crazy.

lagos has improved infrastructure wise because we now are blessed with a governor who employes people TO DO THEIR JOB , not by TRIBAL AFFLIATION BUT BY ABILITY .. something which is comparatively new as a concept for us in nigeria.. lol! GOOD JOB .. may the impeachers go impeach themselves jo!
