area of the state.
He said government is greatly concern about situation,
adding that all hands will be on deck to address it .
Ambode said , “ What we have done in the last three
hours is to show that we are greatly concerned about
the traffic gridlock that we have been experiencing in
the last few months. It ’ s not enough for us to stay in
the office and believe that we can create solutions to
the traffic challenge that we have in the state.
“ So we decided that we are going to go round
ourselves and see how we can improve the traffic
situation. That ’s not the end of the story . We ’ re still
going to Apapa and Mile 2. The truth is that we must
start to have solutions to our traffic challenges in the
state and that’ s what we are doing . ”

the construction of Pedestrian Bridge at Berger , adding

traffic on that highway , ” he stated .
