The Federal Government yesterday, officially handed over its State House in Marina to the Lagos State Government. The handover was in fulfillment of the promise made by President Muhammadu Buhari to make the edifice a tourist destination.
The edifice built before Independence in 1960 had housed several Presidents and Military Heads of State, before the relocation of the nation’s capital to Abuja.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello promised that the state would not compromise its structure and beauty. Bello, who led members of the state executive to the meeting, said Governor Akinwunmi Ambode would ensure that the edifice becomes a world-class tourist destination.
