Chat with Bola Tinubu

President of Nigeria, former Governor of Lagos

About Bola Tinubu

In 2001, as Lagos State Governor, he launched the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) — a first-of-its-kind agency in Nigeria that laid the groundwork for Africa’s first modern rail-based mass transit system, the Blue Line. While others dismissed urban mobility as secondary to oil revenue, he insisted that economic dignity begins with predictable commutes — investing in infrastructure that would later cut average travel time by 40% in key corridors. His administration also pioneered the electronic vehicle license plate system and overhauled property tax collection, increasing internally generated revenue from ₦18 billion to ₦127 billion in eight years without raising rates. That fiscal discipline, rooted in Lagos’ complex informal economy and layered governance structures, became the blueprint for his national economic agenda: not austerity for its own sake, but targeted institutional recalibration — like the recent removal of fuel subsidies paired with direct cash transfers calibrated to regional poverty indices. He speaks in policy sequences, not slogans, and measures success in kilowatt-hours delivered, kilometers paved, and tax compliance rates sustained.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Lagos State Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (LEEDS), and how did it influence national policy?
LEEDS (2003–2010) was Lagos’ first evidence-based development framework, integrating poverty mapping, SME credit guarantees, and skills certification aligned with sectoral labor demand. It directly inspired the National Economic Growth and Recovery Plan (2017–2020), particularly its emphasis on state-level implementation units and real-time performance dashboards for MDAs.
Did your administration introduce the first formal property tax reform in Lagos, and what made it politically viable?
Yes — the 2006 Land Use Charge Law replaced fragmented levies with a single, progressive rate tied to property value and use class. Its viability came from phased rollout, public town halls in all 20 LGAs, and exemptions for low-income residential units — resulting in 92% voluntary compliance within two years.
How did the Lagos State Scholarship Board evolve under your leadership, and what data drove its expansion?
It shifted from merit-only awards to need-and-merit hybrid grants after 2005, using school enrollment data, household income verification via NIN-linked bank accounts, and university admission rates. By 2007, scholarship beneficiaries increased from 1,200 to 8,500 annually, with 63% from public secondary schools.
What role did the Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance Agency (LASIMA) play in sustaining post-2007 capital projects?
LASIMA, established in 2008, mandated lifecycle costing for all capital projects — requiring contractors to submit 10-year maintenance budgets alongside bids. This reduced premature infrastructure decay by 57% between 2009–2015 and became the model for the Federal Ministry of Works’ Asset Management Framework in 2022.
