Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has donated a sum of N100m to the victims of Akere Spare Parts Market in the Apapa area of the state which was razed by fire on March 8, 2023.
This is as the governor also kicked off the rebuilding of the market.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this via his Twitter post on Wednesday saying that the money was to ease their pains of the victims.
He warned the people of Lagos to shun division as the governorship and state assembly elections hold on Saturday.
“Lagos takes care of its own and today I returned to kickoff the redevelopment of the Akere Motor Parts Market in Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA, which was affected by an unfortunate fire incident recently. I also donated N100 million to the affected traders to ease their pains,” the governor tweeted.
“As we move towards the election this Saturday, we must not allow bigotry be what will divide us. We must watch our utterances and ensure that we are not divisive. It is about the ordinary, everyday people. You own the mandate and it is about you.”
