In a statement titled ‘LSETF boss lauds Lagos State Government on infrastructural development, economy’, she said this was even as the national economy was still recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The statement noted that the Lagos rail project would cost over N100bn, a project that was a first by any subnational government in Africa. Abisoye said the courage shown by the Lagos State government was the kind required to free the country and the continent from the shackles of economic slump and mass unemployment. She said, “I must say that I am particularly proud – as should every well-meaning Lagosians – of the unmatched fearlessness with which my principal, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is leading the way.
