When asked about the zoning arrangement, Fashola said, "The truth is that what makes an agreement spectacular is the honour in which it is made, not whether it is written. If it was written there would be no Court cases of breach of contract because it's a document that is written and signed that goes to court. But the private agreement you make with your brother and sister should not be breached, it must be honoured."
