- The award was given to the governor by the National Image International magazine

- National Image Magazine said Ambode was nominated based on his satisfactory performance in the governance of Lagos between 2015 to 2019

The Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has received an award for the Best Performing Governor in Nigeria Award.

Tribune reports that the award was presented to the governor by the National Image International magazine for his exemplary performance in governance.

The organisation while presenting the award said Governor Ambode nominated based on his satisfactory performance in the governance of Lagos between 2015 to 2019.

Paul Smith, the head of publications for National Image International magazine, Paul Smith, said Governor Ambode’s achievements in Lagos is ground-breaking.

He also described the governor as the foremost Nigerian governor with the largest number of road projects.

Smith said: "Youth empowerment, skill acquisition, infrastructure development, small and medium scale industry empowerments for indigenes of the state, as well as promotion of peace and security and human capital development, which have altogether created prosperity for all Lagosians within the record time of virtually four years that Governor Ambode has been in office.”

He said the organisation premised their nomination criteria on five major areas: infrastructure development, human capital development, promotion of peace and security, as well as nearness to the grassroots people, and execution of people-oriented social service programmes that directly impacted on the lives of people in each state.

“Lagos is being rated as the fifth largest economy in Africa presently under the leadership of Governor Ambode who carried out economic re-engineering of the state. Our party has a way of churning out good leaders in the state and if this feat is sustained it would soon emerge as the biggest economy in Africa.

“The state is home to almost every religion, tribes and colour and it accommodates the largest pool of black people all over the world, including Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who is from Nigeria and has a home in Lagos,” Smith added.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that during President Muhammadu Buhari visit to Lagos state on April 24, he paid a courtesy visit to the governor of Lagos state.

During his visit, he met with the family of the governor including his wife and children. A rare photo from the chatty rendezvous between the duo has been shared online.

The shot which was shared by the personal photographer of the president, Bayo Omoboriowo, perfectly depicted the moment the children of the governor were paying courtesy to the president.

The male child prostrated flat on the ground to show his respect to the president of Nigeria. This is the traditional Yoruba way of greeting the elders.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
