The Lagos State governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has said the party is interested in the development of people.

Agbaje said this when he visited the island communities of Ido-Oluwo-Ile, Ikaare-Ibeshe and Ilashe to commission some projects, including school and toilet facilities on behalf of President Goodluck Jonathan.

"The project does not have funding from the Lagos State Government or the local government," he said in a statement.

He also said the projects were in line with his vision for education in Lagos.

He added, "What we have done today is in tandem with what we have always said, that if government neglects basic education, the life of the child cannot be straightened out.

"The fact is that without education, one will not attain a good standard of living. It is time for us to think very well which party is interested in the people's development."
