Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the weekend reassured Lagosians of his administration’s commitment to rid the state of traffic gridlock. The governor gave the assurance while inspecting the removal of 2nd Lekki roundabout as part of Junction improvements for the free flow of vehicular movements along the Lekki corridors. Governor Sanwo-Olu, while at the project site, encouraged the contractors handling the projects to keep up with the current pace of work so as to ensure its completion in record time. Last week, the State’s Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Fredrick Oladeinde, who accompanied Governor Sanwo-Olu to inspect the Lekki project, described the decision to improve the junctions as a strategic repositioning of the roads to ease traffic congestion. He recalled that the government started off through discovery of 60 traffic gridlocks junctions and areas across the state.
