Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode
of Lagos State on Thursday said that his administration would ensure that
Badagry becomes the hub of tourism and resort enterprises in Africa.
Ambode said this at
the `One Lagos Fiesta’ which took place at the Badagry Grammar School in
Badagry, Lagos State.
He added that his
administration would ensure that the town becomes a flashpoint for development
projects in the state.
“This administration
is determined to transform this ancient city into a tourism hub that would
attract so many international people to this great city.
“The six-lane road construction would further
boost its economic activities and let’s not forget the seaport that would soon
be developed in the town in the nearest future.
“Our eyes are set on
Badagry and we are doing things for the future because we intend to open up
Badagry forever,” he said.
Ambode commended the
turnout of people at the event.
“I have been to two
different events but I must commend the turnout here because it is the largest
and the best that I have witnessed so far.
“This goes to show
that people here are committed in moving the state forward and I’m so excited
and glad about that,” he said.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that the artistes that performed at the all-nite fiesta
were; Mayorkun, Olu Maintain, CDQ, Dremo and Ara, amongst others.
