The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has said his
administration will focus on the state’s power, environment and transportation
sectors in the next two years.
According to him, the sectors were crucial to driving social
infrastructure in the state.
Ambode, who stated this while addressing reporters on
Monday, said: “In the last two years, what we have done is just to create a
foundation of a vision that drives Lagos to the next 50 years.
“There is nothing we can do in the next two years that is
ever going to be enough. There are three things I want people to watch out for
in the next 12 to 18 months, the issue of power, environment and the sanitation
as well as transportation.
“I believe those three sectors are the key sectors that can
drive every other social infrastructure that we will be dealing with in Lagos.”
He emphasised the importance of a clean and safe environment
not just for residents alone, but also for investors willing to do business in
the state.
“Lagos must get cleaner and safer, and improve in the way
people commute from one place to another.
“One thing with Lagos is the more success you record, the
more people want to come into the city,” the governor said.
