One of the areas pointed out by the royal visitors was the non-inclusion of the Arewa Community in the current Lagos State equation, which they said, has continued to stir disenchantment within the ranks of the Lagos State Arewa Community, noting that, their support to the government as proven by past and present records, has never wavered, thus, the total blackout has remained a cause for unending concern.
Responding, the Lagos State chief of staff, thanked the visiting traditional chiefs for having been progressive partners of the government for decades, maintaining that, the support and contributions of the Lagos State Arewa Community was never misjudged or taken for granted, he added that, the future ahead promises a greater bargain for all residents of the state, without doubt.
Continuing, Chief Tayo Ayinde, assured the visitors of increased inclusion and government patronage for the greater good of the state, noting that, Lagos State being the cynosure of hybrid progress and development, will continue to entrench policies and initiatives that demonstrate true imclusivity and prosperity of the greatest number of its residents.
