Tokunbo Wahab Works Round the Clock to Make Lagos Cleaner
Hope is a delicate thing, fragile and requires constant reinforcement. Fortunately, experts proficient in propping up hope, like Tokunbo Wahab, are around. To make Lagos state a superstructure of cleanliness, Wahab has clung to his duties as his custom and is already making waves in the direction of this goal.
Lagos, the commercial centre of Nigeria, is a big and busy place. Disarray and untidiness are expected variables in such a place. Knowing the importance of keeping these variables in check, Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, appointed Wahab as the Commissioner for the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources.
Sanwo-Olu’s fundamental point in having Wahab lead the ministry is to utilise the latter’s expertise in polishing whatever is committed to him. Indeed, Wahab has started to do this, clearing out the rubbish in the state to establish something that is progressive man’s ideal, a utopian dream, a cleaner Lagos.
Based on reports, Wahab has been doing a lot of inspections, including his recent checkup of the Lekki Water channels. Recognizing the value of preparation, Wahab’s checks are expected to grant him deeper insights into waste and water dynamics. With these insights, he can revolutionise the state’s environmental condition.
Lagosians are confident in the abilities of Wahab. This is not the first time the man has been placed in such a position. Before now, Wahab was Sanwo-Olu’s Special Adviser on Education. It is on account of his dedication and capabilities that the sector received a thorough revival, enrolling it as one of the premier sectors for which Lagos is lauded among its peers.
Thus, with Wahab’s track record of good works, the Environment and Water Resources ministry will soon rise to the top and Lagos state will be cleaner than ever before.
