Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State Saturday expressed dissatisfaction at the deplorable state of some sections of the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, even as he ordered the immediate rehabilitation of the road.
Speaking during an on-the-spot assessment of the road, Ambode said that the road was too strategic to the economy of the state and therefore cannot be ignored.
The Governor, who was returning from the grand opening of a 70, 000-capacity motorbikes assembly plant in Mile 2, stopped his convoy and came down from his vehicles to inspect the bad portions of the road alongside top government officials who accompanied him.
Observing the plight of motorists along the bad portions of the road between Berlett and Ilasa, and Cele Bus Stop inward Oshodi, Ambode directed the state’s Ministry of Works and Infrastructure and other relevant government agencies to immediately move to site and fix the bad portions of the road.
