LASG seeks National Assembly’s intervention fund to rebuild Lagos

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has appealed to the National Assembly to set aside funds in the 2021 Appropriation Bill to rebuild and restore Lagos State in the aftermath of the EndSARS mayhem.

Sanwo-Olu made the appeal on Monday during the Rebuild Lagos: Dialogue and Partnership event to inaugurate the 8-member Board of Trustees of Rebuild Lagos Trust Fund held at Ikeja.

According to the governor, Lagos does not have the financial ability to repair the damaged property alone, therefore, it required the assistance of the Federal Government.

“We seek to restore the infrastructure that was destroyed, to revive the energy and confidence of everyone who has been affected by these losses, to help restore the confidence of the people of Lagos in the infinite potentials of Lagos.

“But the state government cannot do this alone. We need all the help that we can get. We require the assistance of the Federal Government, from both the executive and legislative branches.
