Lagos is the smallest state in size in Nigeria but it is now home to more than 20 million people. I find myself among them, as we enter a new era under Akinwunmi Ambode, as he takes over the governorship from Babatunde Fashola. Fashola and Tinubu have held the reins for nearly two decades and no one can deny – they have changed the face of Lagos. The sheer magnitude of the task, to transition this massive urban sprawl into a prospering metropolis of the 21st century, seems impossible at first glance. Yet successive administrations have managed to project a vision that has incentives for both the public and the private sector to participate in the effort.
