Newly- sworn in governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo Olu yesterday, paid an unexpected visit to the Tin Can Island and Apapa Ports to inspect the level of degradation to the ports' access roads.
Shipping Position Daily correspondent who was at the Apapa Port late yesterday sited the governors convoy with his retinue of aids, navigating within Apapa, down to Tin Can Island Ports.
Sanwo Olu had before his inauguration promised that he will end the protracted gridlock in Apapa area of the state within the first 60 days of his administration.
He said not minding the politics involved, he would rid the area of all the trailers whose operations have been responsible for the intractable gridlock.
He said, “The Apapa trailer issue; it’s a campaign issue; it’s very serious; I’m going to take it very seriously.
“I believe that it is something that we are going to solve in the first 60 days of our government. Whatever is going to be required of us, we will take them out.
“There is a lot of politics being played around there. But no, it cannot be the way we’ll continue to live. We cannot continue to give excuses.” he said.
