The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has promised to find an enduring solution to the perennial traffic jam in the state with the creation of alternatives to road transport system.

The governorship candidate said he had identified about 60 points where traffic was usually heavy in the state, adding that his administration planned to adopt integrated transport system as well as direct traffic to the free lanes during rush hours.

Sanwo-Olu, who said this in an interview with UHURU TIMES, a Lagos-based publication, promised to complete the rail track currently under construction and invest in water transportation in order to reduce the number of people travelling by road on a daily basis.

The APC candidate stated that waterways that required dredging would be attended to so that boats could travel fast, adding that the complaint of low returns by boat operators would be looked into.

He said, “Our focus is beyond just road travels within the state. We are thinking about an integrated transportation system befitting of a megacity state like Lagos. One third of Lagos is water and that suggests that we have a huge water transportation opportunity and alternative. The waterways need to be properly mapped out to help navigation.

“We also have the rail project that we need to complete, especially the Blueline from Okokomaiko to CMS. We need to complete the track. It is about funding and we will find a way of completing that rail project. Lagos needs a transportation system outside the road; a transportation system that can move thousands of people daily.”

He urged Lagosians to change their orientation about the way they use the road, saying some behaviours, aiding to the traffic congestion, should be dropped in the interest of everybody.

Speaking on waste management, Sanwo-Olu said waste problem would be better tackled if individuals could start to sort their waste and stop mixing organic waste with plastics and bottles.

He promised to make better the over 1,300 public primary schools in the state and improve on the infrastructure in the primary, secondary and tertiary institutions owned by the state government because of the importance of education.

He believed the about N1tn budget size of the state was too small compared to the quantum of infrastructure and services to be rendered.

The APC governorship standard bearer, however, explained that if elected, his administration would not over-burden the people with tax but would be creative in managing the state’s resources.

Sanwo-Olu added that more people would be attracted into the tax net.

Weddon sir

Oya oo, our Edo people sanwo olu go favour una means of aircraft transportation.


No body should ask me, Yes! I didn't read before commenting, my comment was inspired from the topic.

Good way to go.
Lagos is always BLESSED with good governors.
No wonder Lagos remain the best State in Nigeria.

Buhari will not see this as as voters inducement which is againts electoral law

Hmmm

Good move

A mega city like Lagos ought to have a good and functional rail lines...

Only one road connects the whole of VI down to Epe..
Imagine the traffic.. Horrible

Say no to thuggery

Say no to godfatherism

Well, thank God he thought differently

Another good GOVERNOR for Lagos is on the way.

JK we know
JK we trust

Can I say something

I guess the alternative will be building Mars on all backyards and slums

Okay!
Can this election period just pass already....

Questions that should be asked are:


Why has the present government (in which you were a senior government official) not implement same system as you both come from the same PARTY?


Why should we believe your government will complete the rail track between Okokomiako to CMS when the current government (of which you were a SENIOR official) cannot rehabilitate Lagos - Badagry Expressway? When has constructing a rail track become MORE easier than a road?

Too vague

Sanwo ori.

We will we will


We shall remember and we shall see

All the things himself and yourself mentioned were done/started during this line of APC governorship administration.

He has not added anything new.

PS:

1. I am surprised though - we have a rail line running from Iju to Ebute meta... no is talking about renovating that and getting better trains... They are all interested in building a new one? Is it that those previous rail lines can’t be relayed and used by newer trains or they simply want to keep using those trains in a ‘mega city’? Something is fishy.

2. And I am disappointed APC is not considering investing in Lagos’s personal power grid. There is so much money to be made by the private and public sector if Lagos could define its on energy generation and distribution sector - so that Lagos could at least have near-24 hours power supply. Enough of building roads, rails and bridges- those are all basic government responsibilities.

Meanwhile, this is fashola promising that rail will be ready, all the way back in 2013.

The way these guys steal our money eh, I just don't get it.

He had said nothing new or different from what Ambode says.

No wonder Ameachi said this country will never change

Fashola was there, promised train will start working in 2013. Fast forward 6 years and this incoming stooge is promising another 4 years of waiting for train. I'm sure after his first four years and a couple more pillars added, he will say that the project can't be completed in 4 years and that we should vote for continuity.

6 + 8 years = 14 years with no gaurantee of ever seeing a train.

Ameachi - "Nigeria will never change" - Can you all now see his point?

Imaginary train : 14+ years

Electricity : from vision 2020 to vision 2040 I guess.

Lagos : Ibadan Expressway, since my childhood.
...

Some Nigerians will grow old and die and still never witness 24/7 power supply, even if it's just for one month.

Ameachi - "Nigeria will never change"

They will just be using ur heads during election and all of you suffering and smiling champions will be shouting APC and PDP here and there.

Buhari was elected, cancelled all his campaign promises sharply. You think Atiku will be better?

At least Jimi sounds a bit intelligent and with no known godfather.

Una mumu never do Nigerians?

Just like how Nigerians were fighting to defend MMM. You should have seen how people will be cursing you then, when you advice them to stay away from MMM. Even though it was clear for all to see that MMM was a fraud, yet they all plunged into financial demise head first; well at least the majority of the losers.

Una mumu never do Nigerians? Chai! I rebuke every spirit that curses Nigerians to advocate for failure in Jesus Name!


My candidate is Sowore and I will campaign for him, win or lose, because I personally have to see a great Nigeria before my old age. I will not grow old and die and Nigeria still be ruled by illiterate, corrupt and downright evil people. God forbid!

sowore can never be president , instead of vying for the presidency which he obviously know he cant win or even come t
3rd , why didnt he vie for the senate and at least make himself known , if he is in the senate and contributing intelligent and bringing out good bills , ppl will see in him the leadership qualities ,
he is a complete novice to governance and a novice cannot and will never be entrusted with the lives , security and economy of the nation.

6 Things You Need to Know About the "Father" of Public Administration

An Educated Politician
Before Woodrow Wilson became president, he was a scholar of politics and history. To this day, he is the only U.S. President to have acquired a Ph.D. His knowledge led him to publish many important essays in Political Science Quarterly, including his most influential work, “The Study of Administration,” published in 1887...

I'm sure you can deduce from the excerpt the significance of public administration and by extension, this makes Sowore the MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENCY IN 2019.

BTW, what experience did Buhari have before becoming president? Was it his ability to execute a coup and subvert a growing democracy?

Why ain't we hearing anything from Jimi Agbaje?

Lagos needs change.
