    Ambode’s wife pledges toilet for park

    Life of Lagos State Governor Mrs Bolanle Ambode has promised to construct a toilet at the Ndubisi Kanu Park, Alausa, Ikeja.

    She made the pledge at the Christmas and Family fun fare hosted by Ourcraft Venture in collaboration with the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK).

    Mrs Ambode enjoined children to imbibe the spirit of Christmas  by showing kindness.

    She cautioned that the season should be celebrated with every sense of responsibility and decency.

    “Much as we love our jobs and businesses as hard working people, it is equally important that we cultivate the habit of relaxation for healthy living. By this, we live healthy and longer, to enjoy the money we make. The greatest happiness is family happiness,” she said.

    LASPARK Managing Director Dr Titi Anibaba thanked Mrs Ambode for identifing with the children, saying the gesture will lift the spirit of the children and give them a sense of belonging and made them feel important.

  • Raise your children well, says Ambode’s wife

    Life of Lagos State governor Mrs. Bolanle Ambode yesterday urged mothers to raise their children with the fear of God, irrespective of gender.

    She spoke when she visited two nursing mothers Mrs Abbey Augustine and Mrs Nosiru Onibon, who delivered a set of triplets and a set of twins, at the Epe General Hospital.

    Mrs Ambode, accompanied by wife of Lagos House of Assembly Speaker Mrs Fausat Obasa, said a child’s upbringing would go a long way to determine his future. She reminded mothers of their role in shaping their children’s future.

    Mrs Ambode said: “Children are wonderful gifts from God; therefore, mothers must cherish, nurture and raise their children with the fear of God so that they will grow to become good role models and be useful not just to themselves but their parents and society at large”.

    She presented gift items to the women.

    Medical Director, Dr. Mustapha Bamidele, who received Mrs. Ambode and her entourage, described the visit as unusual.

     “It shows kindness and meekness on the part of her Excellency”, Bamidele said.

    The elated women thanked Mrs Ambode and prayed for her family and the state.

     Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and his wife it was learnt, were born at the hospital.
