“I will make sure many of the items on my bucket lists are ticked. In no particular order. From low hanging fruits to the far fetched dreams… they are all on my check list this year. I give a big Thank you, to my wife, my backbone and to my children. I thank my family and the extended family. You all have been a pillar of support.

“To my colleagues and industry friends, thank you for the camaraderie. We will all shine. Together. Forever. My mentors and role models… Thanks for all you have taught me. The lessons I have failed to learn, please, don’t cease to remind me, I am in that learning curve… bend me.”

He also proposed an automated fines system as a solution to the incessant man-made traffic problems in Lagos.
