Doherty Says Lagos Falls Short of Its Potential, Pledges Free Education

At a Lagos governorship debate in Lekki, Doherty said the state was operating below its potential and that residents were facing harder living conditions despite paying taxes and levies. He questioned whether Lagosians were getting enough in return for their contributions to government. He pledged to provide free public education through senior secondary school or technical college, including books and examination fees. He also proposed expanding vocational training to equip young people with practical skills. The debate gave candidates a platform to present their plans ahead of the February 2027 Lagos governorship election.
