Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode says he is deeply concerned about
the increasing reports of robberies and traffic gridlock he has been
receiving from residents of the state. Ambode 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 security agencies have been mandated to enforce the ban
on commercial motorcycle operators popularly called Okada riders as they
pose a security threat to residents of the state.
