WITH a governance template that stands out as a model among Nigeria’s 36 states, governing Lagos State requires more than just being a political heavyweight as obtains in Nigeria’s political landscape. It is a task that comes with a proportionate mixture of intelligence, character and audacity to achieve super results that befit Lagos.

AS far as human resources is concerned, Nigeria is blessed, what with a plethora of acclaimed achievers in almost any field one can think of — academia, medicine, law, banking, telecommunications and business, generally.

CATHOLIC Archbishop Emeritus of Lagos Archdiocese, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, belongs to the generation of old biblical prophets who fearlessly and persistently admonished kings and the people of Israel to repent from their profane and sinful behaviours, which were at variance with the commandments of God.

Nigeria’s history will be incomplete without the mention of former military head of state, General Yakubu Gowon (rtd).

EVER since Alhaji Ismaila Isa Funtua commenced his working career at the Katsina Native Authority many decades ago, he has remained as constant as the northern star in the polity.
