Sanwo-Olu pledges to build biggest children’s hospital in Africa

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says his administration has implemented plans to build the biggest children’s hospital in Africa.
The governor pledged at a special Jumat to mark his inauguration for a second term at the Lagos Central Mosque, Lagos Island, on Friday.
“We have our agenda, and it is our plan to build the biggest children’s hospital in Africa,” said Mr Sanwo-Olu, represented by Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat.
The governor said his administration was committed to guaranteeing a better future for children in the state.
Mr Sanwo-Olu assured the people they would not regret voting them in for the second term.
Speaking on the ‘THEMES Plus’ agenda, the governor explained that social inclusion, gender equality, youth and women empowerment would be part of the administration’s focus.
“We will design all our policies and programmes to ensure everyone is carried along and catered to,” he said.
Mr Sanwo-Olu harped on the need for Nigerians to always pray for their leaders to get it right.
“It is good to pray for our leaders because we will all suffer the consequences if they get it right or wrong.
“That is why it is good to pray for God to guide us and our leaders so that the future of our children can be better and greater,” he said.
Earlier, the chief imam of Shitta Mosque, Lagos Island, Sheik Muaz Habeeb, urged the people to trust God and pray for their leaders.
He cautioned the people from cursing their leaders while appealing to them to continually show their support for the new administration.
