Sanwo-Olu Reaffirms His Commitment Towards Infrastructural Development Of Lagos
The Governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reaffirmed his adminstration’s commitment to developing infrastructures in the state.
The Governor revealed this during a courtesy call from the Chairman and Executive members of Ijegun-Egba Tank Farm Owners and Operators Association, led by Adebowale Olujimi, on Monday at the State House, Ikeja.
Sanwo-Olu noted that his adminstration has achieved significant progress in proffering solutions at ensuring that the infrastructural deficit in the Ijegun area was solved.
He said “Today, we seem to have achieved significant progress on a conversation we started long before we came into the government on how to bring about a lasting solution to agitations from Ijegun residents over the infrastructural challenge in the area.”
The Governor noted that his administration would welcome partnership geared towards solving the infrastructural challenges the community was experiencing.
Sanwo-Olu said “We want to see how we can quickly come about a lasting solution to the challenges, which businesses and residents are currently facing in the area.
“As a government, we have been forward-looking for solutions, but we seek to solve the problem by seeking a partnership that will benefit all of us. So, we welcome the request and we will set up a team that will jointly review what we need to do in the benefit of all stakeholders.
“It is going to be a partnership in which the government would play a prominent role and we expect that, as business people, we all should collectively come together and see how we can resolve it in the interest of all stakeholders.”
“As a government, we have the responsibility to respond to the concerns of businessmen doing their businesses in Lagos to ensure that their business continues to flourish. But, more importantly, we also have a responsibility to keep protecting our citizens that are all around where the businesses are located to be sure that they are in a very safe and secured environment,” the Governor added.
The Chairman, Ijegun-Egba Tank Farm Association, Adebowale Olujimi, however, applauded the Governor for receiving them, adding that, the association would continue to support the adminstration in delivering the dividend of good governance to the people of Lagos.
