Ambode received Fashola and some top officials of the Ministry on a courtesy visit at the Lagos House, Ikeja yesterday where he said,
'On behalf of the people of Lagos State, I would like to wholeheartedly welcome Mr. Babatunde Fashola, my predecessor and now Minister for Works, Power and Housing and especially back to the Alausa office where he actually left about 22 months ago'.

Ambode also added that,
