We have leaders doing the direct opposite here for fear of having their judgements questioned. Little wonder our fortunes have been ebbing!

[Mr. El-Bonga @el_bonga]

Lee Kuan Yew, who transformed Singapore, once said something that always resonates with me. He said that the more intelligent and talented people he had in his cabinet, the greater the success of his policies, the easier governance became, and the more developed his nation grew.

Old heads appointed into the state regulatory body and since then, everywhere remains quiet!

WHAT IS YOUR STATE DOING ABOUT POWER?

Lagos State has issued 14 new electricity distribution licenses as part of ongoing reforms aimed at reshaping the state’s power sector and introducing more competition into the market.

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

@Ahmadlori Is there pipe-borne water, sewage system, underground cables, firehydrants, green parks, street trees?

[Tonami Playman @TonamiPlayman]

Meanwhile Lagos is mandating every hotel with over 20 rooms must have an onsite sewage treatment plant instead of building a citywide system that business & residents should connect to.

Lee Kuan Yew has some thing to say to Nigerians.
Please watch and share.

Somewhere in Africa, there’s a politician promising that if elected, they’ll transform cities to look this good. But once in office, they travel to developed countries and brag on the media, posting photos and videos from their trips. Then there are gullible people who praise them and call them an inspiration.

They never fulfill their promises or do their duties. And when they do, the work is half-baked and tacky. But they’ll still show you on the media, through vacation photos and videos, how beautiful a developed country looks.

That is the only way they can feel superior to their subjects. I mean, if everyone enjoyed the benefits of development, how would they make you beg them to do their jobs and hand out empty promises that keep them in power?

Remember, grass before sidewalk!

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

@osazenoo The planners must find the best amongst them to continue after every 8 years. That's the way to sustain it. Elrufai made that in Kaduna but brought an outsider ahead of the insiders and the whole thing has been truncated.

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

@Faridatu001 Oh so you're not from Akiri in Nasarawa State?

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

@AbasKendrix Yes, that's the result of urban planning and some strict implementation. Do this at any city and watch how it turns to a paradise on earth too!

[SHAV★ @shavnyuy]

Unshaded asphalt stores heat all day and releases it at night directly into your neighborhood.

It doesn’t matter if your house cost $50k or $500k. Without street trees and grass setbacks, you’re sleeping in a slow oven.

Green infrastructure lowers local ambient temperatures by up to 5.5°C. That’s not landscaping. That’s climate engineering at street level.

The most expensive thing missing from most African cities isn’t better materials. It’s shade.

@whereinnasarawa Time shall tell.

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

Ours is "Exceeding Expectations" with a new and "first Public Relations University in Africa" at the Governor’s village, some flyovers, underpasses and erm an "upgrade" of a hospital into a "specialists hospital". All of which are in towns without any development guide!

[Osas @osazenoo]

Slide 1: Lagos Massey Children Hospital.
Slide 2: construction update

Slide 3: Enugu International Hospital
Slide 4: construction update

What is your State building?

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

No type of "deodorant" or "perfume" used should make you accept a state or local government that ignores urban planning.

It is the only way you will know if they truly care about you!

[Emeka Azuka Okoye @EmekaOkoye]

@olowogear Thanks bro.

What most of us don't know is that urban planning is even more than about aesthetic of the city or town. It is actually about life.

Urban planning is how we know if our government cares about us.

While this was being conceived, the Engineer Governor left the chat room to inspect the "iconic city gate" and underpass projects.

[Benkingsley Nwashara @Benking443]

Enugu State International Hospital 🔥🔥

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

@dmightyangel The Govenors won't allow this happen. Until then let's keep pretending there's any LG autonomy!

[Lafia Physical Planning Advocates @LPPAtweets]

We wasted some seven years talking to Nasarawa State government on this. We thought a Governor that has lived in the USA would be any different!

[-valar morghulis- @eldivine]

Meanwhile, Nigerian cities desperately need to bring back urban planning. There is no good reason for everywhere to look like dustbin. We are not cursed.

You have a city with no pipe-borne water, hospitals, schools, poor electricity, dirty and infested environment and your "signature project" in seven years is a flyover?!

Flying to where friend?
