“We have tried to improve services within the state and the area of operation of Chevron which is the Lekki axis is not left out. Few weeks back, we improved on the traffic management towards that axis and we believe that the move would also enhance productivity of the people,” Ambode said.
“I also like to use this opportunity to say that because of the impact that we have seen in the elimination of roundabouts in the Lekki axis, we have actually approved another exercise and starting from next week, we will commence the elimination of additional three roundabouts in the axis most especially Chevron, Igbo Efon and Third Roundabout. We believe doing that will totally eliminate traffic in that axis,” he added.
The governor also assured that his administration will complete the ongoing construction of Ajah Flyover by the end of May 2017.
He noted that the essence of government is to create the enabling environment for businesses to thrive, assuring that he would continue to do his best to provide safe and sound environment.
“Security will be improved upon; we don’t think we have gotten to the ideal state but we will continue to expend resources efficiently on security to ensure that the businesses that come to Lagos and the ones existing in Lagos will continue to thrive,” he said.
Earlier, Mr. Ewing said he was at Lagos House to further advance the partnership that had existed between Chevron and Lagos State, saying that the organisation has had a robust relationship with the state for over five decades.
Ewing particularly noted the significant improvement that the present administration in the state had carried out in various sectors of the economy such as road construction, investment in security and education, among others.
He particularly expressed willingness of Chevron to scale up partnership with the state government in terms of CSR especially on healthcare delivery, education, among others.
