LAGOS State Governor, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has claimed to have fixed the age-long gridlock in Apapa, adding that he owes no one any apology for that.
The Governor stated this in an interview with Vanguard when speaking on various issues that affected his administration in the past year.
He said, "I have fixed Apapa gridlock and there is no apology for that. What we have done, even Nigeria Port Authority wrote to commend us; all of the major businesses in Apapa also wrote to us.
"I get a daily video recording of what is happening in Apapa between 7 am and 9 am, and between 1 pm and 3 pm. What (journey) used to take two to three hours now takes 15 to 20 minutes.
"But the remainder of the problem, we are doing the road from Sunrise, Mile 2 end going towards Apapa and that is the portion that has not been completed. I think it is a stretch of not more than a kilometre. However, you still have trailers on some of these roads and why so? You have trailers because the ETO system that NPA had set up is actually working but there has been a lot of sabotage."
Speaking on his 2023 second term re-election bid, he said he is optimistic Lagosians will re-elect him for a second term in office, as he believes his administration has done much to deserve their votes.
