Former Lagos Governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, is dead.
Jakande died on Thursday morning in Lagos at 91.
His death comes just about a month after a former Military Governor of Lagos, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu also passed away.
Jakande was a former journalist who became governor of Lagos State from 1979 to 1983.
He later emerged Minister of Works under the Sani Abacha military regime (1993–98).
Jakande, an Awoist to the core could be described as the last man standing amongst his political peers.
His administration as governor of Lagos state is still revered for the massive infrastructural development recorded during his four-year stint especially the numerous housing Estates built across many local governments in the State as well as sterling investment in schools.
