Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has promised to look for ways of solving the traffic congestions lagosians have been experiencing. Ambode, on Thursday (June 18) was on tour to inspect major traffic points at 3rd Mainland Bridge, Oworonshoki, Ketu, Abule-egba, Alimosho and Mile 12 area of the state.
''What we have done in the last three hours is to show that we are greatly concerned about the traffic jam that we have been experiencing in the last few months,'' he said while speaking with newsmen shortly after inspection. ''It’s not enough for us to stay in the office and believe that we can create solutions to the traffic challenge that we have in the state. So we decided that we are going to go round ourselves and see how we can improve the traffic situation. That’s not the end of the story. We're still going to Apapa and Mile 2. The truth is that we must start to have solutions to our traffic challenges in the state and that’s what we are doing.''
The governor also hinted that he has given approval for the construction of Pedestrian Bridge at Berger, adding that this is needed to allow free vehicular movement.
''We have seen that Berger needs a footbridge and immediately the engineers are going to work and make sure that we put something there. We don't want any traffic on that highway,'' he stated.
