Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has solicited the understanding of Lagosians over poor roads infrastructure in the state pledging that they will be fixed.
He wished he had all the money to fix all the roads in Lagos.
Ambode was speaking on a whole lot of issues at Tuesday’s Town hall meeting where he normally briefs stakeholders on all issues pertaining to the government’s policies.
Said Ambode: “I also solicit your understanding for the inconvenience currently being experienced as a result of the ongoing road projects across the state. This temporary discomfort will soon give way to lasting happiness as all projects will be completed on schedule.
“I support true federalism; I support all the issues raised by Asiwaju; we are on the same page. That is the page of APC; that is where we are and that is what we are committed to. Like I have always said, we need to deal with issues that relate to devolution of powers.
“Like somebody said, if I have more resources, all these items that you are coming to raise here, once you raise it, I will just say done. I need more money. So, why should somebody be saying they are the ones in charge of inland waterways when the waterways is transporting my own people and my services.”
