Lagos state being a commercial and industrial state
in Nigeria with major ports of entry and exit on Tuesday 29th
October 2013 held a glamorous public lecture which was organized in
commemoration of Hon prince Adetoyese Adio Olusi, vice chairman of Lagos island
local government.
The public lecture, which was graced by friends of Toye,
Mrs. Salau- Bashua representing senator Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, Alhaji FA Adekunle
APC party chairman lagos island, Hon. Opeyemi Akindele chairman Lagos island
local government and guest speaker Hon. Fouad Oki who spoke on the topic “
democratic representation in a fledging and emerging megacity.”
Speaking at the event, former commissioner 1in the
lagos state civil service commission, Hon Fouad Oki revealed that nothing that
has been said and done in Lagos that has never been done and said. “I have seen
the lagoon by the side of a lake Alfred Lekins said and from that point coming
to date Lagos has been seen in commerce, trade and economics. It is an
undisputable fact that in Nigeria today, Lagos remains the most complex
metropolitan centre of regional populations and organization. The role which Lagos
plays, both locally and internationally, comes from the complex set of
functions carried out within the metropolis. These functions ranges from
essentially economic activities such as manufacturing to more socially oriented
ones like government housing projects. Lagos has been playing its role and will
continue to play its role because if Lagos fails, Nigeria will sink.”
Hon Fouad Oki also commended the celebrant Hon
prince Adetoyese Adio Olusi for his achievements and wished him well in all his
endeavors. “Adetoye wanted to celebrate his birthday as a discuss. He said it
is a better way of celebrating and for this reason I say Adetoye is my
Protégé”. He however enlightens the audience and Toye’s well wishers on what Lagos
represents in political space and the essence of the Lagos representatives.
