It was a completely uncivilised environment. There were refuse dumps everywhere, schools without roofs, hospitals without ambulances and oxygen tanks to save lives. It was in a very bad state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started to put things in place gradually and the state began to take shape. What we did was to take the liabilities in the state and convert them to assets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCivic Centre to Oriental Hotel areas of Victoria Island were back then refuse dumps, but look at what the areas have turned to today. It is only the older ones who would remember all these.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mini documentary stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/10\/13\/tinubu-is-disoriented-incapable-of-serious-presidential-discourse-pdp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tinubu<\/a> reengineered the revenue of the state and after he left the office of the governor in 2007, Lagos became completely autonomous from the Federal Government in terms of revenue generation having solely been dependent on federal allocations prior to 1999.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Tinubu took over in 1999, Lagos was bankrupt. The internally generated revenue at the time was N600m monthly and the state was completely dependent on the Federal Government for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Tinubu was leaving office in 2007, the IGR of Lagos was N7bn monthly. Babatunde Fashola built on that legacy to N15bn monthly. This was made possible by the short, medium and long-term goals that Tinubu laid down for the state in terms of revenue and wealth generation,\u201d the documentary revealed.<\/p>\n<p>A short clip in the mini documentary also showed where President Muhammadu Buhari, described Tinubu as a political strategist which drew him (Buhari) to Tinubu.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari said, \u201cAsiwaju Bola Tinubu has set himself apart as a political strategist and a mountain of ideas which drew me to him. He is a true humanitarian and has contributed immensely to the success of Nigeria and Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A former governor of the state, Babatunde Fashola and the current governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, also gave credit to the APC presidential candidate for most of the projects that their administrations accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>They described Tinubu as the brain behind the developments in the state, adding that his tenure birthed most of the developments, long before they came in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that he turned Lagos from a jungle to a megacity during his tenure as the state governor from 1999 to 2007.
