Winner of the 2016
Spelling Bee Competition, Master Olaseinde Olufemi Joshua on Friday narrated
how his father, Mr. Olaseinde missed the meeting with Lagos State Governor, Mr.
Akinwunmi Ambode and members of the State Executive Council.
Joshua, a student of
Shasha Community Senior High School in Alimosho area of Lagos, who spoke at the
Lagos House in Ikeja while being hosted as the 16th One-day Governor of the
State, said his father would have loved to be present at the event but was
unable to attend due to some health challenges.
Besides, Joshua
described Governor, Ambode as the most labour-friendly Governor in
Nigeria.
He said despite the
dwindling allocation from the Federal Government, Governor Ambode has remained
committed to the prompt payment of workers salary.
He said: "While
over 29 states of the federation cannot afford to pay their workers, I really
commend the Governor's hard work and determination to take Lagos State to the
highest level." Joshua added that so far, Governor Ambode had lived up to
the true meaning of the acronym of his name which he described as "AMBODE -
Ambassadors of Meritorious, Brilliant, Organised and Dedicated
Entity."
Responding, Governor
Ambode ordered that Joshua's father be treated at the medical facilities of the
State Government.
A deeply touched
Governor Ambode said: "It is unfortunate that his father could not make it
for this very special occasion in the life of his child but will be attended to
in the health facilities of the State Government."
Besides, Joshua was
given a laptop, printer and generating set courtesy of the Governor's Office
while other winners of the competition were given tab each.
