The Aare Ona Kakanfo-designate, Otunba Gani Adams, yesterday paid a courtesy visit on the Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, at the Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, where he commended the governor’s role in the political and economic integration of the south-west region.

 Adams, who said he was in Lagos to pay homage as well as invite the governor to his installation scheduled for January 13, alluded to the fact that Gov Ambode since assumption of office has taken the growth of the south-west region to heart.

 Commending the developmental strides in Lagos, Adams said the governor, in the last two and half years, had succeeded in giving the state a major facelift, adding that an appreciable level of progress had been recorded across the state.

 “I am so particular about the Light -Up Lagos. If I am driving from the Island anytime from 8:00p.m., I always ask my Chief of Staff or driver if we are in Europe or we are still in Nigeria or the same Lagos that we were living in before?

 “I think that anyone that gives light gives life. By giving light to Lagos State, you are giving life to Lagos State, and the more you keep on lighting up Lagos, God will continue to develop Lagos State,” he said.

 Responding, Governor Ambode said that Lagos, over the years has, remained the heartbeat of the future of the Yoruba race, assuring that no stone would be left unturned to engender south- west integration, as well as preserve its rich heritage and culture.
