Ambode declares second Lekki-Epe Expressway toll-free
has assured residents that tolls will not be collected
at the second toll point on the Lekki- Epe Expressway.
Ambode made the remark at an interactive session
with journalists at the Banquet Hall of the Lagos
House, Ikeja, a statement said on Sunday.
The governor, in the statement by his Chief Press
Secretary, Habib Aruna, said his concern was
ensuring the completion of the road.
He said, "We must start thinking of the future
concerning that road. We said we will have an
International Airport in Epe, and an Export
Processing Zone in Lekki and a Deep Seaport also in
Lekki.
"Should we not start thinking about how we will
improve and create a 10-lane road between Ikorodu,
Itoikin, Epe and Ijebu Ode so that people can go out
from there? There is no point constructing the road,
paying tolls and in five years' time, the road is gone."
The governor said once the Lagos-Badagry
Expressway, which was being expanded into 10-lane,
was completed, the community would be opened up
for business activities.
He added that his administration would make careful
efforts to grow the tourism potential of the state.
He said, "As more means of transportation come on
board, the more than 600,000 private car owners and
120,000 motorcycles that are being put on the road in
the state on a daily basis will reduce in number."
He said his administration had decided to scale up
governance by rearranging the civil service through
the realignment of some ministries and agencies,
while creating a new Ministry of Wealth Creation and
Employment.
Ambode said, "We have said this is a government of
continuity, but it is continuity with improvement. It is
about making life easier for the people. We are
receptive to new ideas and that is why we are going
to be creative, innovative and thinking out of the
box."
