With the governorship election across the country three days away, Next Level Lagos, a socio-political group believes that there are 10 reasons to vote Akinwunmi Ambode, Lagos state governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
• ECONOMY & JOBS – Through access to finance of N1 billion annually across the five divisions in the state, our youths and unemployed will have access to adequate finance for entrepreneurial ventures.
• SECURITY – We will continue with the city lighting project by expanding the Independent Power Project (IPP) to enhance the security of lives and property across the state.
• EDUCATION – We will provide free education up until senior secondary school level to ensure that no child is denied their right to education, and endeavour to provide one free meal per day for students to guarantee them a healthy learning environment.
• HOUSING – We will provide affordable housing by collaborating through Public Private Partnerships (PPP) to increase the availability of affordable homes.
• MEDICAL CARE – We will introduce free medical care for our children below age six, pregnant women and senior citizens aged 65+
• AGRICULTURE – We will provide funding for agricultural industrialisation programmes, to encourage local food production, which will in turn provide employment for our bulging youth population.
• TRANSPORTATION – We will pursue a fully integrated transport management system that takes into consideration roads, rail, water and walkways as means of mobility for ease of movement of residents in the city centres and the suburbs.
• INFRASTRUCTURE – We will ensure the provision of good and well paved roads across the State, and ensure that all public institutions and facilities are of the highest standards and quality.
• TOURISM, CULTURE & SPORTS – We will increase the avenues to showcase our distinct and diverse Lagos culture and traditions through the establishment of museums and heritage centres. We will create community based sport centres to encourage our youth development.
• ENTERTAINMENT AND ARTS – We will partner with the entertainment industry to develop sustainable structures and frameworks to support interested and talented youth
