Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, has called on South-West governors to deepen regional integration and harmonise development plans, saying the region does not need constitutional amendments to pursue economic growth and reclaim its developmental strides.
Hamzat spoke at the centennial birthday lecture held in honour of Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
He said the South-West could achieve greater development through collaboration among its governments, including the development of interconnected infrastructure across the region, Yoruba Times shared video on X on Friday.
“I’m going to talk to you about how we can come together as a Yoruba people, as a Yoruba to develop together. So that we build rail from Lagos to Ekiti.
“So if I want to live in Ekiti, I can want to have a farm in Ekiti and I don’t want to sleep in Ekiti. I can take a train and get back to Lagos,” Hamzat said.
