Following the severe and highly disruptive traffic congestion experienced by Lagos residents yesterday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has addressed the situation and offered a solution aimed at easing commutes in the coming weeks. The unprecedented gridlock, which caused significant delays and frustration for commuters, highlighted the urgent need for proactive measures to manage traffic flow within the city, particularly in the Victoria Island area.
In response to this, Governor Sanwo-Olu is strongly advising Lagos residents to ‘plan ahead and stay ahead.’ Recognizing that a key factor contributing to yesterday’s congestion was the high volume of traffic heading towards Victoria Island, he is urging those who do not have urgent business in that area over the next 2-3 weeks to leverage the convenience of online services. By utilizing these digital platforms to conduct necessary tasks, residents can significantly reduce their need to travel, thereby contributing to a smoother flow of traffic.
Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasizes that this collaborative effort will be crucial in minimizing congestion and creating a more manageable commute for everyone. He underscores that by embracing online solutions, Lagos residents can collectively make their lives easier during this period. The Governor is therefore calling on all Lagosians to consider and implement this advice.
