Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola, has been nicknamed the 'action governor'.
The youngest person ever to run Nigeria's commercial capital, Fashola's practical approach to tackling chronic problems like poor infrastructure and healthcare means he's radically transformed Lagos in just two years.
