Lagos is lucky to have Fashola as Minister – Ambode

Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, says his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola, is well positioned to make positive impact on the state.

Ambode says the new Minister of Works, Power and Housing, will serve as a link between Lagos and the Federal Government, as he strives to develop the infrastructure of the state.

While delivering a keynote address on Thursday, at the Lagos Business School Alumni, Ambode said the state is privileged to have Fashola in charge of important federal ministries.

“We are privileged to have my predecessor in office at the center in charge of Works, Power and Housing.

This effectively means we have a synergy between Lagos and the Federal Government to accelerate and actualise our current plans for infrastructural development.”

“Dealing with the terrible traffic problems that afflict so many Lagosians on a day to day basis is my key area of focus in relation to infrastructure.

Our problems with traffic have to be improved. It is harmful to the quality of life of too many people in our city.”

“Lagos will continue to grow and as we are more successful, the population will of course grow more quickly, generating more demand for traffic.

We are looking at the potential of rail and water-based systems, repair the roads and work with the private sector to deliver the projects.”
