Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has assured taxpayers in the state that their taxes will not be spent on frivolities, but rather on profitable ventures that would enhance economic growth.
The governor stated this while commissioning the second phase of the upgraded and rehabilitated network of roads in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of the state.
Sanwo-Olu said his administration is determined to transform the state and ensure its productivity.
He said, “As we all know, transportation infrastructure is the backbone of any thriving economy. In Lagos State, we recognize that every aspect of our social and economic life depends on an efficient, reliable, and sustainable transportation network.
“When we envisioned the Greater Lagos dream, we set out to build a state that is safe, clean, and prosperous—a place where opportunities abound, and the quality of life continues to improve for all residents.
“One of the biggest impediments to realizing this vision was the man-hours lost in traffic congestion and the persistent challenges of flooding in certain areas. These were issues we could not ignore.
“Our administration’s THEMES+ Agenda placed transportation and traffic management as a critical priority.
“We understood that the provision of world-class road infrastructure would not only enhance mobility but also catalyze economic growth, improve productivity, and make Lagos more competitive globally.”
He urged all residents to take ownership of the projects by refraining from actions that could undermine their durability, such as indiscriminate dumping of waste into drainage systems or illegal parking on roadways that could undermine its durability.
