Governor-elect of Lagos State, Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, has promised to decongest Apapa road of trailers and containers
causing heavy traffic within the first 60 days of his administration.
Sanwo-Olu made the promise on Saturday, May 18, 2019, during an interactive session
with his classmates at the Executive Master of Business Administration class,
University of Lagos, 1998/2000 set.
At the event, the incoming governor promised to get rid of the gridlock that
has characterized Apapa road for many years irrespective of the politics
involved.
He said, “The Apapa trailer issue; it’s a
campaign issue; it’s very serious; I’m going to take it very seriously.
“I believe that it is something that we are going to solve in the first 60 days
of our government. Whatever is going to be required of us, we will take them
out.”
He added that: “There is a lot of politics being played around there. But no,
it cannot be the way we’ll continue to live. We cannot continue to give
excuses.”
