I Bought My Burial Vault Four Years Ago- Fashola

Governor Fashola of Lagos State has said the State is
planning to build a cemetery like no other. Fashola who spoke after inspecting
the proposed cemetery for both Muslims and Christians in the state, located
along Lekki Epe Expressway, Lagos said though most people hate to talk about
their exit, it is something mandatory for the Government to consider because
people must die either they like it or not.  He mentioned that as a government build
hospitals for new-borns, schools for them to learn survival skills, they must
also build cemeteries for those going back home, especially the elderly ones.
He also pointed out that he bought his own burial vault four years again. His
words after the cut.

“We are going to deliver a cemetery like no other, it will
also be competitive. We will manage it and make it cost competitive. There will
be high density vault, there will be medium density vault and low density vault
for people who really want to make a statement at their exit.

“It is true of life that everyone who come must go. So as we
are building hospital to receive new born babies, schools to teach them
survival skills in life and start businesses, we must also plan for the end and
this may sound odd as some people don’t want to discuss it.

“I have bought my own vault. It surprises people I paid for
it about four years ago. I always tell people if you come here to live, you
must plan to go. Those who don’t want to go shouldn’t come,” he stated.
