President Muhammadu Buhari has told the people of Lagos State to commend their Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.<\/p>\n
Buhari noted that Ambode has performed satisfactorily and should be commended for his contributions to the growth and development of the State.<\/p>\n
The President also thanked the people of the State for their support for the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government.<\/p>\n
President Buhari spoke during the commissioning of the Oshodi Transport Interchange, Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road and Public Transportation Buses on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI am delighted to be here today to commission three key projects that reflect the drive and success of our Administration as we pursue policies and programmes that will positively impact on our citizens.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new Oshodi Transport Interchange; the Mass Transit Medium and High capacity public buses and the reconstructed Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road by Lagos State Government clearly demonstrate the need to continue to provide high impact projects for the development of infrastructure and opportunities for job creation at all levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust as this transport interchange with three different terminals is going to change the face of public transportation, the mass transit buses totaling 820 will move the people of Lagos State in a more comfortable and more efficient manner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese projects by Lagos State are perfectly aligned with the efforts of the Federal Government to improve the country\u2019s infrastructure especially in the transport sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo compliment the Oshodi transport Interchange, the Federal Government has recently approved the reconstruction of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway up to Oworonshoki and Old-Toll gate which was last attended to, 40 years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have recently commissioned the new International Airport Terminals in Port Harcourt and Abuja as well as the rail lines from Abuja to Kaduna.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lagos to Ibadan rail line is under construction. Our government will continue to prioritise high impact infrastructure which will vastly improve the lives of our people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my second working visit to Lagos state within a span of one year. I was also here in February to solicit for your votes. I thank you for supporting me. Earlier this morning, I commissioned Ayinke House at the Institute of Maternal & Child Health and also the Lagos Theatre in Oregun.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has performed satisfactorily and we should all commend him for his contributions to the growth and development of Lagos State.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to once again thank all the people of Lagos State for their support for our government and our party.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is therefore with great pleasure that I commission the new Oshodi Transport Interchange, the Mass Transit Buses and the Murtala Mohammed International Airport road.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
