The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said the 2025 council elections will affirm Lagos’ commitment to local government autonomy.
He said this as he outlined significant strides in the state’s development during the 2025 Annual Thanksgiving Service held at Tafawa Balewa Square on Sunday.
With the theme ‘Harvest of Thanksgiving,’ the event marked a moment of reflection and optimism as the congregation gave thanks for the past year and looked ahead to the future.
In his address, Governor Sanwo-Olu acknowledged the trials and triumphs of the year 2024, emphasising that faith and collective effort had yielded positive outcomes.
“Also, this year 2025, our local government elections will further strengthen the delivery of good governance at the grassroots, and affirm our commitment to ensuring the autonomy of local government in Nigeria, a core plank of the President’s vision for a truly federal Nigeria,” the governor said.
Sanwo-Olu praised the economic reforms spearheaded by President Bola Tinubu, despite the short-term challenges they presented.
