I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC CONGESTIONS - AMBODE

Lagos state governor, Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode says he is deeply concerned about the increasing reports of armed robberies and traffic conjestion, Gov. Ambode said he has been receiving so many reports from residents of the state. He also said this today at the inaugural retreat organised by the State Government for Commissioners, Special Advisers and body of Permanent Secretaries in the state.



    "I'm deeply concerned about the issues that Lagosians are sending back to me and the issues range from security issues, traffic gridlock and the environment itself. But again just as we are looking at the immediate solutions to them, there are medium term solutions that Lagosians will see in the next few weeks that we will roll out.
    We have declared zero tolerance on potholes and we are deploying more men to ensure free flow of traffic. As we are now in the ‘Ember’ months, I just want to appeal to Lagosians to be more vigilant, and cooperate with us in all the measures we will be carrying out," he said.

He stated that all security agencies have been mandated to enforce the ban on commercial motorcycle operators popularly called Okada riders as they take the lead in posing a security threat to residents of the state.
