WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS FORGOT TO PUBLISH
ABOUT GOV. FASHOLA!
BY MALIK SHABBAZZ

Fashola claims he spent the sum of N1.5Billion of
un-appropriated funds, without approval in
demolishing and planting grass at Oshodi.
No newspaper reported this.

Between January and June 2009, Fashola’s Chief
of Staff and PAs spent N290 million in sending
TEXT Messages and making phone CALLS on their
lines.
Of course, no newspaper reported this.

P.S: Please, someone, kindly remind me – what
did Stella Oduah do again? SMH.
Now, permit me to introduce Dr. Tunji Olowolafe.
He is the owner of DEUX PROJECT LIMITED. He is
Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola’s crony. He is
also their biggest proxy. Most contracts that
Fashola awards to himself are done using DEUX
PROJECT LIMITED. For instance, between January
and August 2009, 11 out of 19 contracts in the
Lagos State Ministry of health were awarded to
this company. Out of N5.6Billion contract in the
Ministry of Health, Olowolafe alone collected
N5.1Billion worth and was paid 70 percent
upfront in cash.
No newspaper or other news media reported this.

For a State that earns averagely N360Billion,
annually, from taxes, isn’t it befuddling that its
state-own University, LASU, cannot boast of a
hostel facility? Yet, Fashola had the temerity to
increase school fees from N25k to N250K.
No newspaper has ever written a report or
editorial about this.

Remember the Bank of Industry (BOI) building at
Lagos Island that partially collapsed in March,
2006?
On the 21st of September, 2008 the building was
eventually demolished. Now guess how much
Fashola spent to demolish it? A whooping
N1.5Billion! Please, be reminded that this amount
is just to demolish a building. Not to build one.
Anyway, that isn’t the end of the story. The
government of Lagos, a.k.a Fashola
administration, later acquired the land (Layeni’s
compound) adjacent to the demolished building
in the “public interest”. He later resold it to his
proxy Tunji Olowolafe.
No newspaper has ever reported this.
During the Bola Tinubu administration, he
awarded the construction of City Hall for
N2.3Billion. When Fashola later came on board,
he increased the contract sum to N5.2Billion. This
project was increased by 126%. The only input he
eventually made to City Hall was to change the
floor tiles to marble tiles.
The news media conveniently missed this news
item.
The SSA (Media) to Fashola spends approximately
N200million quarterly on press coverage and on
news media editors. In other words, it is from
this money that news media editors are paid to
gag them from reporting anything unsavoury
about Fashola or his administration. Note that
this fund is outside the approved budget, but
funded directly from the Governor’s Office. Now,
you know why no news media outlets broadcast
or publish anything negative about Fashola and
his administration. Also, propaganda against their
political adversaries is fuelled by this largesse to
the media authorities.
Of course, this is not the sort of news that Sahara
Reporters report about.

The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and
equipped with state funds, is now owned
personally by Fashola’s god-father, BolaTinubu.
He put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin
of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit
and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The
unit charges its users exorbitantly and most
Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high
charges. Most of the revenue is derived from fees
paid by the State Government for patients
referred there by its General Hospitals.
Oddly, this news item evaded all news media.
Fashola’s god-father, Bola Tinubu, converted all
the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was
located at Ikosi, near the old toll gate.

He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to allocate the choice plots to himself. The
headquarters of Television Continental (TVC) and
Radio Continental, which is owned by him, is
currently located there. He deprived the youths
of Lagos of decent education because of his
primitive desire to acquire every real estate that
he can lay his hands on in Lagos.
As to be expected,Television Continental (TVC)
and Radio Continental did not report this.

Lagos State generates an Internally Generated
Revenue (IGR) of an average of N25Billion to
N30Billion Monthly (At least, that is what they
declare. It could be more). The company that is
contracted to collect IGR is Alpha Beta
Consultants (ABC). The company is owned by Bola
Ahmed Tinubu. The company collects 10%
commission of taxes collected in Lagos. This
amounts to between N2.5Billion to N3Billion
monthly. On what basis is this 10% commission
when the same work can be done by the Lagos
State Board of Internal Revenue?
No newspaper has ever written a report or
editorial about this.


Fashola administration once spent N1Billion Naira
on “bangers” and fireworks during the New Year
Crossover Night. This is a state that its university
– Lagos State University (LASU) – cannot boast of
a hostel facility.
No newspaper reported this.

Between January and June 2009, now guess how
much Fashola claimed to have used to fuel the
fleet of vehicles attached to his office alone?
Please, brace up for the figure.
N135 million!
This amounts to about N800, 000 per day.
Interestingly, this was at a time that petrol was
sold for N65 per litre, and we all know that
government always gets it cheaper. But Fashola
claimed to have bought it at N85 per litre.
This particular revelation surfaced at a time when
members of the Lagos State House of Assembly
were looking for a reason to impeach him in
2010. These “Honourables”, led by the Speaker of
the house – Adeyemi Ikuforiji, are loyal to Bola
Tinubu. They were angry with Fashola for daring
to suggest a downward review of the 10% that
their god-father, Tinubu, earns from all collected
taxes in Lagos. Thus, this revelation came to light.
However, when the rift between Tinubu and his
prodigal god-son, Fashola, was settled, the case
was magically swept under the rug.
Of course, this news never made the press.

During the Bola Tinubu administration, the LASU
IBA road was awarded for N6.2Billion. In less
than two weeks when Fashola came on board,
the amount was jerked up to N10 Billion. The
reason for this reckless increase was never
stated.
No newspaper reported this.

Fashola awarded the contract for the
reconstruction of part of Western Avenue (Funsho
Williams Road). The road is a two kilometers road
(between Abalti Barracks and Costain). The
project was carried out by Julius Berger. This 2
KM road costs a staggering N7.7 Billion. Mind
you, the contract didn’t include the construction
of any bridge.
No newspaper reported this.

The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of
Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion
and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of
Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local
Government and given to Mr. Ibukun Fakeye (his
crony) to build a golf course and luxury villa with
little or no compensation to the villagers. In
addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N4billion) out of
public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence
the project in late 2006. Fashola has since
released additional funding for this project, which
is not owned by the state government.
TVC and Radio Continental will never report this.
Fashola’s wife travels abroad at least once in two
months. Whenever she travels, she takes
N30million per trip from the State coffers, apart
from her monthly running cost.
No newspaper would report this.

What is the status of the Bus Assembly Company-
a joint venture between the Lagos State
Government and Marcopolo Bus Company of
Brazil of which about N2Billion was paid to a
foreign consultant and a Nigerian friend of Bola
Tinubu in 2006? The objective of the project was
to build a bus maintenance facility at the old
LMTS yard at Cappa, Oshodi of which nothing has
been done till date? Gov Fashola should update
the public on this.

No newspaper has reported this.

Fashola awarded a contract to construct a road
and drainage inside Gbagada General Hospital. Of
course, the contract was awarded to his usual
proxy, Dr. Tunji Olowolafe’s company (DEUX
Projects Limited). Now, guess the contract
amount? Over N1.8 billion!
No newspaper editorial was ever written about
this.

The Fashola administration boasts of restoring
safety and security to Lagos State. However, what
is their justification for the Fashola
administration, within 6 months (January to June
2009) spending N420million on hiring private
security to guard him despite his heavy
investment in the Police Force through the State
Security Trust Fund.
No newspaper would report this.

Over 70% of Lagos State Government contracts
are concentrated in the hands of his proxy – Dr.
Tunji Olowolafe. However, this is the clearest
indication of the betrayal of trust by Governor
Fashola. This is against the Oath of Office he
swore to. It is a violation of Sections 14(4), 15(5)
and 17(2a) of the 1999 Constitution on which
social objective of a just, free and equitable social
order is founded.
No newspaper would report this.

Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, is a road of about
1KM. The contract for the supply of dissel for the
generators that power the street lights was
awarded to a Bale (community ruler). The Bale is
a very close ally of Fashola and Bola Tinubu. The
Bale is paid N16m monthly.
No newspaper reported this.

In a State where pipe-borne water is almost non-
existent, Fashola spent over N13Billion on
planting grass and flowers in just a few places
that constitute less than 1% of Lagos land mass.
According to them, most of the money was spent
in importing palm trees from Niger Republic, a
sahel region belt, when Lagos is in the rain forest.
This explains why most of the trees have dried
up.
The news media conveniently didn’t get a hint of
this news item.
The INDICATOR magazine, a magazine that
focuses on the activities of the Lagos State
government, is falsely passed off to the public as
a private magazine. It is not. It is actually co-
ordinated and published by Tunji Olowolafe and
Hakeem Bello, SSA (Media) to BRF with
government money.
Of course, no newspaper would report this.
Fashola’s god-father, Bola Tinubu, while he was
the governor, allocated to himself the former
Strabag yard that is located beside the Lagos
State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The land has
now been developed to bear one of his
investments – The Ikeja Shopping Mall (Ikeja
Shoprite).
No newspaper would report this.

In six months (between January and June 2009)
Fashola spent money on several faceless
organizations in the form of subventions, grants
and donations, A total of N2 billion was given out
in the process.
No newspaper would report this.

The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore
land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now
owned by Bola Tinubu.
No newspaper has reported this.

The contract for the installation of CCTVs on the
street of Lagos was awarded to one of Fashola’s
relatives. The relative claimed to be acting for
CISCO. The contract was awarded for $62 million
dollars, while the rejected quotation for the
contract was $30 million. It is important to note
that this was only a pilot scheme.
No newspaper reported this.

Prince Dipo Eludoyin is a personal friend and
proxy for ex-Gov Tinubu and Gov. Fashola. They
had arrangements with him (Eludoyin) for some
prime lands in Lagos to be sold to him. These
lands were eventually sold to him at ridiculously
low prices. Some of the lands include: : The 3.8-
hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in
VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography), the
fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin
fishermen were to be relocated); the entire
Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a
low-cost housing scheme; the Ilubinrin housing
estate (which used to house Lagos state civil
servants and judges up till 2007); the former
Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe.
No newspaper would report this.

The entire maintenance contract and
management of hospital equipment at the
LASUTH was solely concessioned to Olowolafe’s
company by the Tinubu administration at an
annual payment of N850m paid upfront. The
Fashola’s government retains this arrangement
No newspaper would report this.

Billions of naira have been paid not once, not
twice for the development of Oyingbo market for
which no appreciable level of work has been
done? Oyingbo market is still in the same state
that it has always been. The evidence is there for
the public to see.
No newspaper would report this.

Fashola lambasts the federal government,
consistently, for its failure to provide steady
power supply.
No newspaper editorial has ever been written to
ask him why he has failed, in 8 years, to provide
Lagosians with pipe-borne water.
In a State where children are sitting on the floor
in classrooms, where unemployment is rampant
and poverty pervasive, Fashola paid the wife of a
controversial pastor over N600 million, in two
years, for Xmas Decorations for about six streets
in Lagos.
No newspaper reported this.

A 250-hectare of land valued at about N35billion
and strategically located adjacent to the Ajah-
Badore junction on Lekki-Epe road. It was original
earmarked to build a general hospital to serve
the people of Eti-Osa. However, it was stolen by
Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a
company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu. Today,
that property has been developed to become
what is today known as the Royal Garden Housing
Estate. All these at the expense of the taxpayers
of Lagos.
No news media ever reported this.

Bola Tinubu appropriated to himself a choice
public property situated along the Lekki-Epe
expressway. It was on this land that he built and
part-owns the multi-billion Naira “Oriental Hotels”
at the “Admiralty Circle” Maroko.
Media houses conveniently turned a blind eye to
this news item.
In 2005-2006, the Cook County Hospital in
Chicago, Illinois, USA donated a set of medical
equipment to the Lagos State government free-
of-charge. This was when Bola Tinubu was still
the governor of Lagos State. Yet, records showed
that a company belonging to Tunji Olowolafe was
paid for it by way of Letters of Credit for the
same equipment. The payment was made during
Fashola’s administration.
No newspaper editorial was written about this.

Mrs. Animashahun heads the Lagos State Building
Control Agency. She is a relative of the governor.
Also, one Dr. Mrs. Adesina who calls the shots as
the Special Adviser to the Governor is equally a
relative of the Governor. One Ms. Azeez, a sister
to the closest friend of the Governor, Demola
Azeez, heads the EKO Project and directly reports
to him. There is hardly any Agency in the State
today that the Fashola family or Animashaun
Family does not prominently feature. This is aside
from the in-laws and many relatives of the
Governor who returned from the United Kingdom
to populate most Lagos State agencies.
No newspaper would report this.

In 2009, Fashola claimed to have bought two
helicopters for an unbelievable N5Billion. It was
purchased without a transparent bidding process.
They also claimed that the helicopter was built for
emergency evacuation, rescue or to even combat
urban fire. This was a blatant lie. The helicopters
were of generic design. Before public attention
was brought to this grand heist by the Fashola
administration, the seal of Lagos State was not on
it. It wasn’t even in Lagos, but in the Niger-Delta
making money for some private people in
government. The fraudulent purported acquisition
of 2 Bell 412 EP Series Helicopters from a
Canadian firm constitute a flagrant violation of
Section 123(1) and (2) and Section 120(4) of the
1999 Constitution.
Only ThisDay Newspaper reported this (See
ThisDay December 19, 2009). However, the
consequence of daring to report this, is the
reason why the beautiful and imposing “ThisDay
Dome”, an exquisite event place, situated along
the Lekki Epe Expressway, Lekki, is no more
there. Emperor Fashola literarily harassed them
out of the state.
The Mayegun Scheme was sold to Olowolafe and
other friends and cronies of Fashola against
public interest without any independent valuation
by relevant agency of government? Why is the
size of the scheme shielded in secrecy? Why was
N5.2 billion for which the land was sold
untraceable? Where is the over N2 billion loan
borrowed to sand-fill the place? What is the fate
of the Tourism and Art-craft sellers chased away
from the place?
No newspaper reported this.

Former Gov Tinubu gave away Hectares of land
belonging to several communities-Sirinwon,
Igbekodo, Apakin etc in Ibeju Lekki local
government to his crony, one Ibukun Fakeye to
develop a golf course and housing estate with no
regard for the right of the community? In
addition, why did the Lagos State Government
pay a whopping sum of N5billion for the take-off
of the project which today is being singularly
handled by Ibukun Fakeye as a private project at
the exclusion of any Lagos State Government
official? Was this project ever approved by the
Lagos State House of Assembly or the amount
appropriated in the 2006 or 2007 budgets?
No newspaper would report this.

Ms. Yinka Fashola is the immediate elder sister of
the Gov. Fashola. She is the one superintending
over the on-going Lagos State Residents
Registration exercise. Nothing less than 7 Billion
Naira has been expended on the exercise thus
far. Unfortunately, more than a year since the
commencement of the programme, they have
only succeeded in registering 164,000 people.
Mathematically, it translates to N42,682, 926.82
to register one person. Pure waste of tax payers
funds.

The entire Ogudu Foreshore scheme initially
earmarked for low cost housing scheme sold to a
company belonging to Prince Dipo Eludoyin – a
crony of Bola Tinubu? How much was this piece
of real estate sold? And where did the money
end up in?
No newspaper would report this.

Bola Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the
massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the
junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road,
with Lagos State funds. Today, the project is now
her personal property.
No newspaper would report this.

Fashola during his electioneering campaign of
2011, in no uncertain terms, promised that he
would build the 4th Mainland Bridge. Today,
there are no signs of the project kicking off.
No newspaper editorial reminded him of this
campaign promise.
The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about
N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-
Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki
Concession Company (LCC). It is partly- owned by
Tinubu and Fashola. It has been been developed
into a golf course and housing estate by Assets
and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA
project.
We are still waiting for a newspaper to do an
editorial on this.

Fashola built a bridge to connect Lekki to Ikoyi.
The bridge, the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge, is described as
a “suspended bridge”. The bridge is by no means
a suspended bridge. Most Lagosians are clueless
of what a suspended bridge is. However, they
accept it as that. The bridge costs the State a
staggering N38 Billion ( they creatively skimmed
off N2b from N40B, to make it N38Billion, in
order to give the project amount some decency).
The House of Assembly’s verification exercise
rated the bridge as being not worth more than
N7 billion. Whatever happened to N31Billion is
best left to the imagination of the tax payers.
No newspaper has reported this.

Still on the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge. The Lekki-Ikoyi
“suspended” bridge is a 1.8km bridge. It is built
on low-tide (shallow) waters. It was built at an
incredible cost of N38Billion. That is over $250m
dollar for a 1.8km bridge! Mathematically, that
translates to about N18million per meter length
(over $120k per length). In other words, N420,
200 per inch ($40, 0000 per inch). Perhaps, the
bridge was built with gold-plated gravel and steel.
However, this leaves one wondering how much it
would then take Fashola to build the fabled 4TH
Mainland bridge, a bridge that is expected to
span 15km.

Dey forgot to include dat he has mouth odour , I wonder how him supporters mouth go be.

This is mind-boggling revelation, looting of the highest order. GEJ rightly says this is not corruption but stealing and Tifnubu and Fashola are thieves.
APC must be voted out of Lagos and Buhari will never rule Nigeria.
