Lagos State, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has promised to continue working towards the realisation of the ‘Greater Lagos’ aspirations to make life better for all in a 21st-century economy.
The Governor in his Democracy Day speech stated this on Friday, June 12, in a live broadcast to Lagosians in commemoration of the maiden Democracy Day.
Sanwo-Olu who rolled out various achievements of his administration within the year under review, said: “Without a doubt, in the last 365 days so much has happened in our state that we must be proud and thankful for.
“In my inauguration address, I promised you a ‘Greater Lagos’. Today, on the first anniversary of that inauguration, it is my pleasure to brief you about the progress we have made in the journey towards a ‘Greater Lagos’, using the THEMES agenda as our vehicle.
“Traffic management and transportation is the first leg of our THEMES agenda. Considering the pivotal role of transportation as a major driver of socio-economic activities, our goal is to develop a reliable intermodal system of transportation.
“On February 4, 2020, we made a giant leap in our resolve to develop an integrated transport system by officially commissioning eight new, state-of-the-art ferries, to kick-start our expansion of the LAGFERRY Service.
“Since then we have seen a remarkable increase in the number of commuters on our waterways.”
