The debate which was tagged “GOOD
GOVERNANCE: What’s Next?” had no less than 10 political parties ably
represented by their gubernatorial candidates in attendance, all of whom brought
to light various germane issues affecting Lagos as a state, ranging from
environmental hazards {i.e flooding and waste management}, transportation and housing
problems, and most importantly, the issue of insecurity and unemployment in the
state and also proffer various policies to solving these critical issues.

The event was well attended by the good people of Lagos, most of whom yearn for
a change in governance in the state in order to incur rapid development,
considering the population of Lagos state and the influx of hundreds of
thousands of people from other parts of the country and nearby countries who
migrate into the state on daily basis with no aim of emigrating anytime soon.
Our candidate, Mr. Oluwaseun Ajireloja, hammered on the need to increase the
minimum wage of the state from what it is as of today to One Hundred Thousand
Naira living wage as it is obvious that the #18,000 currently paid to workers
is a meagre amount which can never be enough to cater for any family no matter
how few.

He also talked about going digital on the issue of security as that would
drastically eradicate insecurity in the state, and reduce death rates while
also giving room for people to run their businesses without fear of being
robbed or killed.
All the candidates present performed absolutely well in answering the
questions, presenting their party manifestos and also, their individual proposed
policies for the state if they become governor.
