Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Wednesday
expressed confidence in the ongoing efforts to permanently resolve traffic
congestion in the Apapa axis.
A release signed by the Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna,
indicates that Ambode spoke at the Lagos House, Ikeja, when he received the
management of the Nigeria Ports Authority, led by its Managing Director, Hadiza
Bala Usman.
He said Lagos, being a commercial nerve centre and a city
surrounded by water, deserves more than one port, adding that his administration
would partner with the NPA to succeed.
“We have had issues about movement of cargo and every other
vehicular movement that relates to traffic congestion in the Apapa axis and I
think with the new management in charge of NPA, a whole lot of things will be
resolved so quickly.
“We will support everything to make Apapa a place that we
will all be delighted to speak about,” the governor said.
Earlier, Usman said she was at the Lagos House with her team
to expand the existing relationship between the NPA and the Lagos State
Government for the benefit of the people.
She said the major area of partnership centers on the
decongestion of Apapa gridlock as soon as possible and the success of the Lekki
Deep Sea Port project, among others.
