This is just as he called on the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) to ensure the completion of the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway rehabilitation.
The elder statesman, who described the road as the busiest in the country, said the 126.5-kilometre road was critical to national economic interest.
Fasanmi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) elder, hailed President Buhari for assigning ministers from the Southwest to challenging portfolios, assuring that they will deliver.
He told the Nation that Fashola, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the Minister of Solid Minerals, and his Heath, Communications and Finance counterparts; Prof. Isaac Adewole, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu and Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, will live up to expectation as change agents.
He said: “Lagos/Ibadan Expressway is a challenge for Buhari and his team. The Minister of Works is up to the task. In fact, our ministers from the Southwest – Fayemi, Shittu, Adewole, Adeosun and Daramola, are great assets. The region has confidence in their ability. They have performed in positions of responsibilities before as governors, administrators and politicians.
“For example, Fahsola is a man after my heart; hardworking, unassuming. He deserves the portfolios, having raised the level of governance in Lagos to a high pedestal. These ministers will actually change, perform and excel.”
