Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu yesterday signed an Executive Order for the rebuilding of the state as a result of the massive destruction inflicted by hoodlums during the #EndSARS protests.
The governor, who stated this while briefing the press on: “Rebuilding Lagos,” at the State House, Alausa, Ikeja, said the committee, which will be headed by Yemi Cardoso, will be responsible for the reconstruction of the State.
The governor also set up an 8-member Board for the new Lagos State Rebuilding Trust Fund Committee (LRTFC), to not only oversee the rebuilding of every aspect of the state but also to look at the future of the state and healing of wounds.
Speaking with newsmen at the State House, Ikeja, Sanwo-Olu said it was time to let go of the pains of the loss and focus on rebuilding the State, adding that State government had been inundated with offers of assistance to rebuild both locally and internationally.
He stated that though a Bill on LRTFC would be presented to the House of Assembly in a few days’ time for passage, but he had to issue an executive order and set up the committee on rebuilding because of the deluge of offers of assistance.
Membership of the Board cuts across the private and public sectors as well as international bodies who have offered to assist in rebuilding the state.
