The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi
Ambode, 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.
