Governorship

Babatunde Fashola commenced a four-year tenure as the Executive Governor of Lagos State in Nigeria on May 29, 2007. In June 2007, Babatunde Fashola appointed former Inspector General of Police Musiliu Smith head of the Lagos State Security council, a body charged with taking a holistic look at the anatomy of crime in the state.[٢]

Taxation

One of the main source of Lagos State government' funds are received as tax payers' money. Recently, a controversial proposal to charge consumption tax on eateries had been enforced.[٣] The matter was taken to court, but the ruling was announced in the government's favor.[٤]

Education reforms

Babatunde Fashola vowed to rehabilitate the state's public schools, long being neglected with time. Among the schools being habilitated included the governor's alma mater, Birch Freeman High School, which is located at a busy metropolis of Surulere.[٥]

The biggest task Babatunde Fashola faces in office is his visionary project to transform Lagos into a mega city,[٦] the first of its kind in Lagosian history. Although initialized under the former governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in June 2002,[٧] the mega project task accelerated under Fashola's governorship. Both private and public sectors are involved in fulfilling the project.[٧][٨]

The crucial part of the mega city project is the rehabilitation of Lagos' infrastructures and districts. Formerly taken care of by the federal government, they were immediately neglected, as Abuja was declared Nigeria's new capital since 1991.[٧] According to Lagos Rail Mass Transit, proposed light railways will be consisted of the outskirt blue-line and inner red-line destinations.[٩] As part of the project, the Badagry Expressway, which links Lagos directly to the south-eastern border of Benin Republic, is currently being rehabilitated by various contractors,[١٠] with BRT and railway networks being established.[١١]

Another ambition is to recover lands at Victoria Island, being lost to erosion for decades.[١٢] This artificial terrain is the location of the proposed Eko Atlantic City. This is also to support housing project that would accommodate up to 25 million Lagosians by 2015, a population growth from 15 million that could turn Lagos into the world's third largest city.[١٣]

Haiti earthquake fund-raising

As soon as Haiti was stroke by a magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake, Babatunde Fashola launched an appeal to raise up to one million U.S. dollars.

Political limbo

By December 2009, there had been rumors and speculations by news media that Babatunde Fashola was subjected to a possible impeachment from within, primarily because of disagreements with the former governor. Ironically, a similar situation played itself out between Tinubu and Femi Pedro, Tinubu's former Deputy Governor, in the run-up to the gubernatorial elections in 2007. It is believed that there was a dispute over Fashola's 2.1 billion Naira worth of commission with the former governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu,[١٥] although both Fashola and the Lagos State House of Assembly had earlier denied such plot ever took place.[١٦] [١٧]

But in late January 2010, the Lagos State House of Assembly launched an investigation into possible mishandling of tax payers' money by Fashola, mainly on the ongoing mega city project.[١٨] The accusations range from importing of palm trees from Niger, for gardening projects within a rain forest state, to improper usage of contract money involving one of Lagos State's contractors.[١٩] The group carrying out the investigation was known as the "True Face of Lagos". The final reports were due to be submitted on February 15, 2010,[١٨][٢٠] but the True Face of Lagos was later abolished. There were attempts to re-launch the probes through a petition,[٢١] but they were again being turned down by the court.[٢٢]
