Sanwo-Olu Acknowledges Tinubu's Role in His Political Journey

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu brought him into government when he was in his 30s, allowing young professionals to engage in debates and contribute to governance. This remark was made during the Seyi Tinubu 41st Birthday Colloquium in Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu highlighted the significance of young Nigerians participating in governance, urging them to attend community meetings and budget hearings. He encouraged youth to develop their skills and maintain ties with Nigeria, even if they travel abroad.

Reflecting on infrastructure development, he cited the Blue Line rail project, which took 40 years to realize, as an example of the long-term nature of significant projects. As he prepares to leave office, Sanwo-Olu expressed his hope to complete ongoing projects and lay a solid foundation for future administrations.

He also called on his generation to mentor younger individuals and create opportunities for them in leadership roles.
