Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has renamed Onikan Stadium after first Military Administrator of Lagos State, Brigadier Mobolaji Olufunso Johnson.
Governor, Sanwo-Olu, while paying tribute to the former military administrator, changed the nomenclature of the newly reconstructed Onikan Stadium as ‘Mobolaji Olufunso Johnson Stadium’.
While honouring the deceased, Sanwo-Olu described him as a distinguished man, a great patriot and an accomplished administrator who re-engineered the modern Lagos. The governor added that Johnson although a soldier, but was never authoritarian and never ruled with an iron hand but instead he ruled with a compassionate mind.
Mr Sanw-olu further added that Mobolaji Johnson was a man with great foresight and a symbol of humility, fairness and justice and that he was in constant support of successive governments of Lagos State.
“He was always willing to offer the right counsel. He was a regular feature of most of the ground-breaking events in Lagos State. his indelible reward for service remained intact and without blame. The projects he executed are still visible today,” he said.
