Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State on Friday created three offices to project his development plan for the state at his inauguration.‎
The governor, while giving his speech at the Tafawa Balewa Square, announced the creation of the Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment, Office of Overseas Affairs and Investment and Office of Civic Engagement.
The governor said the initiative was in line with his campaign promises and would enable him to execute his planned employment trust fund, labour exchange and entrepreneurship drive for Lagos residents.
He said the offices were to strengthen and enhance their promise on government of inclusion and promote international investment in the state.
Ambode thanked God, through the good people of Lagos, to have been born on June 14, 1963 and become the 14th governor of Lagos State.
He said, "The best practices of yesterday might not be good enough for the products of today. I am determined to demonstrate that the government belongs to the citizens. You have put us here as servants to serve you and not you serving us. Today we are committed to that creed."
Ambode said he would reform the civil service to be more proactive and be able to respond to the needs of the citizens.
