How Fashola Tackled Ebola, 6 Reasons Why Your Pubic Hair Must Be Shaved...

GovernorBabatunde FasholaofLagos Statehas received high praise from UK
newspaper,"The Telegraph"for his unique brand of governance in a
country plagued by corruption and bad leadership.
The publication, in a post yesterday on its website, described the
governor as "the man who tamed Nigeria's most lawless city" and
"helped halt the spread of Ebola in Nigeria."
The article explains in detail how Fashola spearheaded efforts against
the disease even abandoning a pilgrimage in Mecca to return home and
tackle the scourge head on.
The article reads:
"He famously claims to be "just doing his job". But in a land where
politicians are known for doing anything but, that alone has been
enough to make Babatunde Fashola, boss of the vast Nigerian city of
Lagos, a very popular man."
"Confounding the image of Nigerian leaders as corrupt and incompetent,
the 51-year-old governor has won near-celebrity status for
transforming west Africa's biggest city, cleaning up its crime-ridden
slums and declaring war on corrupt police and civil servants."
"Yet arguably his biggest achievement in office took place just last
week, and was done without a bulldozer in sight… Mr Fashola turned a
looming disaster into a public health and PR triumph. Breaking off
from a trip overseas, he took personal charge of the operation to
track down and quarantine nearly 1,000 people feared to have been
infected since Mr Sawyer's arrival."
"…He broke off from a pilgrimage to Mecca, flew home and then helped
set up an Ebola Emergency Operations Centre, which spearheaded the
mammoth task of monitoring all those potentially infected. A team of
2,000 officials were trained for the task, who ended up knocking on
26,000 doors."
"At one point the governor was being briefed up to ten times a day by
disease control experts. He made a point of visiting the country's
Ebola treatment centre, a way of communicating to the Nigerian public
that they should not panic needlessly."
"For Mr Fashola's many supporters, it is also yet more proof that the
51-year-old ex-lawyer is a future president in the making, a
much-needed technocrat in a country dominated far too long by ageing
"Big Men" and ex-generals."
"However, despite being reelected with 80 per cent of the vote in
2011, the main hailed as Nigeria's brightest political hope in years
is far from guaranteed a life in office. Having served two terms in
office already, he is not allowed to run as Lagos governor again."
"And as a member of a minority tribe and the country's opposition All
Progressives Congress, he currently lacks the political backing to go
head to head against Goodluck Jonathan in next year's elections."
Governor Fashola recently criticized Jonathan after the president
listed the containment of Ebola in Nigeria as one of his
government's achievements during a political rally.
