Still on Jakande
By Yinka Odumakin
BOLA Oloro, an engineer, was the Rector of the now vandalised Lagos State Polytechnic from 1992-1999. The polytechnic is a school built by Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, the man who developed what we know as Lagos in four years. His bright idea of a metro line for Lagos was, like the polytechnic, officially destroyed by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in 1984 and the full cost of the contract paid with no rail.
We cannot but weep that those who denied Lagos that service are now building one to Niger Republic with our money in a season when Rotimi Amaechi under whose watch cars are being asked to watch their speed for cows is asking us what cows have got to do with transportation on national television.
