By Maryam Adamu

Worried by the persistent gridlock on
Lagos-Badagry expressway, All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship
candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has disclosed that palliative works would
commence on the road tomorrow (Thursday).

Sanwo-Olu stated that
the palliative works that would be embarked upon was his own
contribution to reduce travel time on the road.

He disclosed the
plan on Wednesday when he received members of the Estate Rent and
Commission Agent Association of Nigeria (ERCAAN), actors and actresses
at the headquarters of Independent Campaign Group (ICG), Ikeja.

The
gubernatorial candidate stressed that Lagos economy nd other activities
must be made to move faster than its present state, saying, we must
make Lagos move better than it is now.

Sanwo-Olu disclosed that
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration frustrated the completion
of the road and the red-line of the rail projects.

He said: “Our
aim was to start the Red-line project but because we did not get enough
backing from PDP when I was in government. The project was frustrated.
And when we realise that they wanted to do that, we had to shift the
focus to blue-line. Even after we started the blue-line project, we were
frustrated.”

He disclosed that if elected, the red-line rail
project would be completed by his administration, urging the electorate
to vote for the party during February 16th and March 2nd, 2019.

While
responding to the stakeholders’ demand, he assured that his
administration would introduce policies that could improve the status of
property in the state.

The gubernatorial candidate explained
that this could be achieved if the party wins the Presidential,
gubernatorial and other candidate during the poll.

Earlier,
Commissioner for Housing, Gbolahan Lawal, assured the stakeholders’ in
the property sector that Sanwo-Olu understand the sector and would
remove all encumbrances that had served as setbacks in the sector.

Seeking
Sanwo-Olu’s assistance, the stakeholders urged the APC candidate to
restructure the land grabbing committee because activity of the
committee has reduced investors’ confidence in the sector.

They
also demanded that the process required for Certificate of Ownership (C
of O) be re-modified to reduce the bottleneck in collection exercise.
