I am honored to serve the great people and state of Lagos as your First Lady. Akin and I are proud of the unmatched beauty, the nearly 50-year heritage, and the hardworking people of Lagos.
From Ikorodu to the Epe, I think Lagos is the most beautiful state and truly a land of exciting opportunity full of culture and diversity.
