The Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa and Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have commended Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for his commitment to bringing the Red Line project to fruition during his administration.
The House gave the commendation at its first plenary session of the Y2022 on Tuesday when Hon. (Engr.) Gbolahan Yishawu gave a preliminary report on the Governor’s effort in completing the acquisition deal for the Lagos Red Line rail project in the United States.
The Lawmakers expressed delight at the assiduousness in which Mr. Sanwo-Olu handled the Red Line project which has been conceptualized since the administration of Late Fmr. Alhaji Lateef Jakande.
The Speaker maintained that the public also shared sentiments with the acquisition of these new trains which has the capacity to move thousands of people and equally solve the traffic congestion that has been harrowing on peoples’ minds.
He said that Mr. Governor’s efforts are commendable as it relieves the hassles suffered by commuters and his effort should be encouraged in order for him to do more.
Hon. (Engr.) Gbolahan Yishawu giving his report stated that the acquisition is a welcome idea as transportation in the State with its SMART City Status goes beyond cars and buses.
Therefore, the trains are necessary strategic interventions that are being deployed to tackle the difficulties and the Governor deserves commendations for not dropping the ball on the transportation sector.
In line with his colleague, Hon. Tobun Abiodun added that, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has indeed touched lives of residents from the procurement of the trains to the installation of jetties especially in the Epe region of the State and is assuredly a talking and performing Governor, implementing projects met on ground and initiating new ones.
Like Oliver Twist, he pleaded with the Governor to do more for his Constituency.
Stressing the Governor’s dedication to the State, Hon. Olumoh Sa’ad noted that he has worked immensely in promoting the THEMES AGENDA of the State, especially thanking the House of Assembly for passing the Lagos State Transportation Reform Sector Law and all necessary bodies complying with its implementation.
Following the submissions of the Lawmakers, Hon. (Engr.) Gbolahan Yishawu led the prayer that the House commended the Governor and his prayer was unanimously supported by the House.
The Speaker directed the Acting Clerk of the House, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko to send a commendation letter to Mr. Governor.
