Political commentator, Isaac Fayose, has shared his ambitious ideas on how he would generate massive revenue for Lagos State if he were given the opportunity to govern.
Speaking during a recent interview on the Honest Bunch podcast, Fayose made bold claims about his ability to transform the financial fortunes of the state within a short period.
He asserted that he could generate over two billion Naira in just six months if he were at the helm of affairs, surpassing the achievements of the current administration.
Fayose outlined several strategic initiatives focused on the entertainment and tech industries. He spoke about creating a dedicated "music city" between Ikate and Ilashe, accessible only by boat, which would serve as a hub for artists, celebrities, and global tech investors.
His plan also includes converting internet fraudsters—commonly referred to as "Yahoo boys"—into skilled tech professionals, thereby creating legitimate job opportunities while fostering innovation and boosting the state’s economy.
He emphasized the untapped wealth within the state and criticized existing systems that prevent average citizens from accessing capital, despite the state's vast resources.
His words …
“Is he even generating money? Because if I’m Lagos State Governor, I can generate two billion in six months. And if you ask me how, I will tell you. How? How? Okay, I will now create… music city. I will go between Ikate and Ilashe. You only get there, you only go there, you get there with your boat and create an artist city, celebrate all our artists, celebrate people like you, celebrate you, all of fame. Build apartments. You sell one million dollars. Bring all those Google, Netflix, everybody to come and, you know, you change, you convert your Yahoo, Yahoo boys to tech boys. It’s so easy now. From Yahoo to tech. Yes, now. Come on. create there is no money you go to bank they will ask you to go and bring your mama DNA and your papa if you don’t have collateral you can’t get any money and you are sitting on trillions your people are poor when you get to your airport power is still gone..”
