Political Career

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s predecessor, Fashola, first served as his chief of staff.

Fashola was also known as the Honorable Commissioner to the Governor’s office while serving as Chief of Staff. The first individual to hold both positions concurrently was Babatunde Fashola.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s predecessor, Fashola, served as his chief of staff.

On April 14, 2007, Fashola succeeded Tinubu as governor of Lagos State as the candidate of the Action Congress party, which has since changed its name to the All Progressives Congress party.

Fashola concentrated on rehabilitating Lagos’ infrastructures during his redevelopment of the city infrastructure.

After Abuja was chosen as the new capital of Nigeria in 1991, these facilities had been neglected for a long time. Under Fashola’s leadership, Tinubu’s efforts to modernize Lagos quickly advanced.

The project’s implementation encompassed both the public and commercial sectors. These are some of Fashola’s achievements as Lagos State Governor:

Rapid Transit Bus

BRT buses, which were established by Fashola and for which dedicated lanes were built, are air-conditioned city buses.

Railroads In Suburbs

The National Theatre’s suburban railway’s “Blue Line.”
The first two lines of the Lagos Light Rail, the city’s commuter rail, are expected to be finished by the end of 2022 thanks to Fashola’s initiative (as of January 2022).

Highways

As soon as he took office, Fashola started a significant reconstruction of the city’s principal thoroughfares. Major rehabilitation projects were underway simultaneously practically everywhere in Lagos.

As a result, during the first four years of his administration, the metropolis of Lagos underwent a transformation.

Numerous significant roadways have undergone remodeling and painting. Flyover bridges allowed for the opening of new highways.

The outdated, crumbling footbridges were replaced with brand-new ones.

Educations

The Fashola administration has given education a lot of emphasis. This includes the return of uniformed volunteer administrators in the state’s public schools, the introduction of a salary scale for teachers in those schools, the creation of the Adopt a School Initiative, and other initiatives.

It also includes the distribution of free textbooks, the provision of well-equipped workrooms and libraries, and the provision of buses for teachers and students to ease transportation.

Ikotun Senior High School, Alimosho Girls High School, Agege Okemagba Junior High School, Mojoda Amuwo Senior Grammar School, and Tomia Community Secondary School, Alagbado are among the institutions that have received repairs.

Babatunde Fashola Honours

Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Benin Alumni Association is among the honors and certificates of excellence that Edit Fashola, a Notary Public of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, has won.

He also received the Platinum Award from the Lagos State Public Service Club for his exceptional development work.

In addition, the Alliance for Democracy presented the “Igbogbo Bayeku Local Government Award” in honor of contributions made to the party’s success.

Babatunde Fashola is the second law graduate from the University of Benin and the first graduate of the Nigerian Law School to receive the professional rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria. He is a graduate of UNIBEN.
Fashola is also the first Chief of Staff to ever get such an honor.
