Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on Tuesday said that timely completion of Lekki Port would put an end to the intractable Apapa gridlock.
Sanwo-Olu said this at the Opening Ceremony of the Africa Business Convention, organized by Business Day Newspaper at Victoria Island.
He said that the completion of Lekki Port would ease the congestion along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, the port access roads and Apapa environs.
The governor said that several measures would be put in place to ensure that Apapa was decongested and the state government needed to change the officials regularly to ensure there was no compromise in services rendered.
Sanwo-Olu said that government was committed to delivering the dividends of democracy to residents and had completed iconic projects within the state in the last two and half years.
On his own, the Publisher of Business Day Newspaper, Mr Frank Aigbogun, commended Gov. Sanwo-Olu for the great work done in ridding Apapa of traffic gridlocks and for delivering on his promises to residents.
”When we had the interview, which I moderated, hosted by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry before the elections in 2019, Apapa dominated that conversation.
”I don’t know how often you go to Apapa Mr Governor, but I think between 23 and 27 minutes these days, you get to Apapa.
”So, Mr Governor, I want to acknowledge the work that you have done and to commend you and your team for delivering on your promises,” Aigbogun said.
