Lagos is that express the normal Nigerian needs their state to resemble – a flourishing economy amidst national subsidence, infrastructural improvement at a much more propelled stage than whatever is left of the nation, a responsive and generously compensated common administration. Lagos is a nation in itself, protected from the hardships and hazards that have turned into the trademark of the country in general.
Be that as it may, Lagos didn't get to where it to today overnight. It took years of arranging, planting and establishment laying for Lagos to wind up the dynamic, financially free state it is today. A major part of that which is regularly disregarded is the political progression that Lagos has delighted in since 1999. No other state in Nigeria can brag of 16 progressive years of continuous political administration. Bola Tinubu established the framework of present day Lagos from 1999 to 2007, Babatunde Fashola based on that from 2007 to 2015 when Akinwunmi Ambode assumed control.
Edo State conversely has needed to guarantee years of turbulent political administration and flimsiness in administration. In any case, one month from now's gubernatorial decision introduces an opportunity to right the wrongs and change the story for eternity. The occupant representative, Adams Oshiomole through his accomplishments in the course of the most recent 8 years can be compared to the Bola Tinubu of 2007. An establishment has been laid for the advancement of Edo State. An establishment that ought to be based on by somebody who shares a comparative belief system and has the same needs as the active companion representative.
That individual is Godwin Obaseki, the All Progressives Congress possibility for the governorship decision in September.

A lot is on the line for Edo in this next decision, and it would be counter-gainful for the general population of the state to hazard an arrival to the time of political unsteadiness and absence of course by endeavoring to change the change.
Godwin Obaseki is the right decision for Edo State for some reasons one of which is that his gathering has demonstrated that it has more to offer the general population of Edo than the restriction. Likewise, much the same as Fashola, Obaseki has worked with the active senator and knows precisely where to get the task of building up the state. Obaseki is likewise an expert specialist and a sound financial personality who started his vocation more than 30 years back and has set up track records in Investment Banking, Asset Management, Securities Trading and the Public Sector both globally and in Nigeria.
Godwin began in 1983 with Capital Trust Brokers Limited as a stockbroker where he exceeded expectations and accordingly worked with International Merchant Bank (an offshoot of First Chicago Bank). In 1988 he joined AVC Funds Limited where he served as a Project Manager and drove the center group that set up two of the new era banks which in the long run reshaped the substance of the saving money industry in Nigeria. Somewhere around 1993 and 1995 he worked in New York as a central of Equatorial Finance Co.
Obaseki established Afrinvest West Africa Limited (in the past Securities Transactions and Trust Company Limited (SecTrust)) in 1995 as the pioneer Managing Director. The firm has subsequent to developed to end up a main Investment Banking and Investment Management firm in Nigeria. In 1995 the organization was designated the journalist stockbroker for Nigeria by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
Godwin Obaseki as of now serves as the Chairman of the Edo State Government's Economic and Strategy Team (EST), a position he has held since March 2009. Some of his key accomplishments incorporate the documentation of Edo State Economic Development structure through Sectors' Strategic. Obaseki additionally dealt with the N25 Billion Infrastructure Development Bond for Edo State from the Nigerian Capital Market in 2010 and the $225 Million Concessionary Rates Development Loan from the World.
Obaseki was the director of Fund Raising Committee for the Oshiomhole-Odubu re-decision offer in 2012 however his administration certifications rise above Edo State. He has served on the Presidential Committee on the Reform of the Nigerian Pension System and also the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission Committee on the Re-actuation of the Nigerian Bond Market and the survey of the Investment and Securities Act. He served as an individual from the Nigerian Stock Exchange Council somewhere around 2006 and 2009.
