The completion of the Lekki Port will put an end to the intractable Apapa gridlock, the congestion along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, port access roads and Apapa environs, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said.
Sanwo-Olu who spoke at the opening ceremony of the Africa Business Convention, organised by Business Day Newspaper at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island in Lagos stated that the final solution to Apapa gridlock will be the completion of Lekki Port.
He assured that several measures would be put in place to ensure Apapa is congestion-free, saying, “We need to change the officials regularly to ensure that there is no compromise in services rendered.”
Having completed iconic projects within the state in the last two and half years, he mentioned that some of the infrastructural projects such as Lekki Deep Port, 4th Mainland Bridge, Red and Blue line rails and Imota Rice Mills, among others that are ongoing or in the pipeline, would be completed and become operational within the next 24 months.
According to the governor, the process leading to the commencement of the construction of the 4th Mainland Bridge, which starts from Badore in Ajah and ends in Ikorodu, would be completed before the second quarter of the year.
