I am happy to announce that we are the South West runner-up in the Primary Health Care Leadership Challenge organized by the Nigeria Governors Forum.
We won a $400,000 award for being the best from the South West region and this makes me extremely proud and grateful for the hard work of our team.
The Primary Health Care (PHC) Leadership Challenge is a flagship programme of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF. Its aim is to revitalize the Primary Health Care Under One Roof (PHCUOR) policy in our country by maximizing the commitment of state governors to promoting a progressive increase in PHC funding. It also ensures that all primary healthcare centers have the necessary human resource capacity.
I can assure you that this award will further encourage us to do even more in the area of primary health care. Our goal is to continue improving healthcare services for the benefit of all Lagosians.
This recognition reinforces our commitment to providing quality healthcare to our citizens, and I am determined to build upon this success to create an even stronger and more efficient primary healthcare system in Lagos State.

Dear Lagosians,
Today, I stand before you deeply committed to the well-being and prosperity of our great state.
Lagos has always been a beacon of hope and resilience, reflecting the brilliance and energy of our diverse cultures.
For weeks, weโve faced the prospect of protests aimed at ending what some call "bad government." While the intentions may be noble, some narratives suggesting itโs a means to change the government by non-constitutional means are troubling.
Is a protest the catalyst for progress we need now? Will it ensure our challenges vanish in ten days? Will it lower food prices or inspire economic growth? I strongly believe it wonโt. Instead, it could undo the modest gains weโve made.
Are there challenges? Yes. Is the government addressing them? Absolutely. Significant efforts are underway across many sectors to alleviate our peopleโs pain and pave the way to lasting prosperity.
This week, President Tinubu signed a new minimum wage into law. Student loans are being disbursed to ease financial burdens, and local governments now have financial autonomy to enhance governance efficiency.
The foreign exchange crisis is being creatively tackled. The sale of crude oil to local refineries in Naira will save $7.9 billion annually and strengthen our currency. The Presidential Initiative on CNG is also attracting private investments.
We need patience for the benefits of these economic reforms to blossom. Protests canโt achieve in days what economic reforms can in weeks and months. Our nation, under President Tinubuโs courageous leadership, is on the right path.
In Lagos, we launched EKOCARES to cushion the effects of economic reforms. From discount markets to reduced transport costs, and free medical care, we are committed to easing the burdens on our people.
Weโve increased bursaries and scholarships for Lagos students, ensured free education for new elementary students, and our workers earn above the national minimum wage.
We can do more, and we will.
Reflecting on the tragic events of the EndSARS protest in 2020, it began peacefully but was later hijacked, resulting in immense destruction and loss.
We will NOT allow history repeat itself. During the protests, we saw the destruction of valuable properties and institutions: Lagos High Court, 45 police stations, 12 Local Government offices, 7 Fire Stations, and the Forensic Centre, among others.
The City Hall, Nigeria Ports Authority headquarters, and traditional rulersโ palaces were also destroyed.
Malls, shops, offices, and hundreds of brand-new BRT buses were lost. Such devastation only sets us back economically and socially.
Our goal is a peaceful and prosperous Lagos. We must avoid economic destabilization that can make us poorer. Letโs unite, embrace dialogue, and build a peaceful, prosperous Lagos.
To ensure safe and peaceful expression, the Police have designated Gani Fawehinmi Park and Peace Park for protests. These locations will be secured to protect our citizens and prevent chaos.
Letโs work together to build a Lagos that is safe, secure, and prosperous for all. Our strength lies in our unity, and our future depends on maintaining peace and stability.
God bless Lagos State.
God bless Nigeria.
I am pleased to announce the launch of the Ilera Eko Standard Jaara Health Insurance Scheme in Lagos State.
Our commitment to providing quality, affordable, and efficient healthcare services to all residents is unwavering, and these new initiatives mark a significant milestone in our journey towards universal health coverage.
The introduction of Ilera Eko Virtual Booths in five locations across the State will ensure accessible healthcare for those in the informal sector, including market men and women, artisans, and grassroots stakeholders.
Today, I was also decorated as the Grand Ambassador of Universal Health Coverage in Lagos, and my deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, as the Ambassador for Ilera Eko. These titles reflect our shared commitment to improving healthcare accessibility and affordability in our State.
I urge all residents to take advantage of these new initiatives by enrolling in ILERA EKO to reduce out-of-pocket expenses and ensure access to quality healthcare. Our goal is to enhance health outcomes and make healthcare more inclusive for all.
Thank you all for your support, as we continue working together towards a healthier future for Lagos.
Wishing you a joyous birthday filled with joy, good health, and continued success. May you enjoy a year ahead that is as extraordinary as your contributions to our beloved state.

Today, I stood among dear friends and family at the Service of Songs to honor the memory of my beloved friend and brother, Gboyega Soyannwo, who departed from us on May 15 after a brief illness.
Gboyega held the role of my Deputy Chief of Staff, a beacon of unity and strength in our workspace. His unwavering dedication, remarkable problem-solving abilities, loyalty, and irreplaceable contributions were the threads that held us together. His absence leaves a void that mere words cannot fill.
As we gathered today, we not only mourned his passing but also celebrated the profound impact and enduring legacy he leaves behind. Gboyega's life was a testament to his commitment to public service, a legacy that will forever inspire and guide us.
Everyone should take charge of their health by measuring their blood pressure accurately, taking steps to control it, and committing to a lifestyle that promotes longevity. You have to start making heart-healthy choices. #worldhypertensionday2024

During the Workersโ Day celebration today, I assured workers in the State that our administration will implement the new minimum wage approved by the Federal Government.
I commended the workers for their dedication and emphasized our commitment to prioritizing the welfare of people through various initiatives and also reiterated our focus on creating a more inclusive and equitable society where workers are respected and empowered to thrive.
We will continue to invest in education, training, and skills development to equip our workforce with the tools they need to succeed in their places of work because we recognize the vital role that workers play in driving progress and prosperity in our society.
