PRESIDENT TINUBU COMMISSIONS NEW LAGOS GOVERNORS’ LODGE IN ABUJA President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on leaders to preserve and improve public assets for future generations, stressing that good governance must leave lasting legacies. The President, represented by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, stated this on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, during the commissioning of the reconstructed Lagos State Governors’ Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja. He commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for delivering the new facility, noting that public infrastructure belongs to the people and must be maintained and improved for generations to come. “Public assets belong to the people, and it is our responsibility as leaders to preserve what has been entrusted to us, improve it where necessary, and provide lasting infrastructure that future generations can inherit and benefit from,” he said. Governor Sanwo-Olu described the lodge as a strategic institutional centre for government business, official engagements and Lagos State’s relationship with the Federal Government. He disclosed that the project, executed by Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, was completed in approximately 15 months, adding that the facility was designed to serve successive administrations. The commissioning was attended by former Lagos State Governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode, members of the National Assembly, traditional rulers, members of the Lagos State Executive Council and other dignitaries.
