He spoke while answering questions on Arise Television
Hear him:
Earlier today, I was on Sunrise Daily to talk about some of our ongoing infrastructural projects and governance issues in Lagos.
It was an engaging session with Chamberlain, Kayode, Maupe and Ayo on various issues of interest to Lagosians.
I assured Lagosians that the Red and Blue Lines Rail projects will be completed by the end of the year and by first quarter in 2023, the lines will start full operation.
I also addressed our integrated approach to providing affordable public transportation in the state through road expansions and jetties we have built in Badagry and Ikorodu for easy commute to Marina, Ikorodu and Victoria Island.
On Badagry Expressway which is a Federal road and an international gateway, work is currently going on the 10-lane road and we are working to complete the remaining 20-kilometre stretch to Agbara alongside the link bridges to meet the section from Agbara to Seme Border that is currently being done by the Federal Government.
For our people in Ikorodu, we are working on major roads and I must say that one road where I am always getting a lot of flak is the Agric-Ishawo Road.
It is a massive road we are constructing into 6 lanes when it should actually be 4 lanes and we are dealing with all the issues causing the delays on the road.
I also addressed the 4th Mainland Bridge which is a big project we want to deliver under PPP.
From about 30 companies that expressed interest we are now at the final stage with three shortlisted companies and I am hoping by March we should have completed the process.
I want to say our administration is doing well, even if I do say so myself and our people can also testify to the progress we are making across board.
I made a promise to serve Lagosians diligently and I intend to continue to do that with all the vigor and energy in me.
