It is a platform for discussion of very serious issues about the socio-economic and infrastructural development of Lagos State. In fact, call it the planning board for the gradual evolution of Lagos State into the desired shape and standard because deliberations at Ehingbeti feed into the Lagos Master Plan and implementations are monitored by multiple stakeholders”, he explained.
