Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has turned down the official residence of the state governor in Marina and opted to live at Government House at Alausa in Ikeja in close vicinity of his office.
His predecessor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola had lived at Government House, Marina but Ambode cited his resolve to discharge his duties more effectively as his reason for shunning the State House in Marina.
The new governor made his decision to live at Alausa public at his inaugural meeting with the Body of Permanent Secretaries in the State Public Service on Sunday where he said he would usually resume at work by 8.00am.
He said he took this decision so that he can attend to state functions promptly.
