AMBODE MAKING LIFE STRESS-FREE FOR LAGOSIANS – MAMORA
A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) and former
Senator representing Lagos East at the Senate, Olorunnimbe Mamora has commended
Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for his sterling performance in
office within two years, saying that the infrastructures put in place by the
Governor have greatly contributed to reduction of stress for the people and
increase productivity.
Speaking on Friday during the commissioning of eight roads newly
upgraded in Kosofe Local Government by the State Government, Mamora said the
springing up of critical infrastructures in all sectors and sections of the
State, apart from its positive implication for trade and commerce, would
equally save the people from stress and hypertension, as well as lead to
increase in productivity.
The newly inaugurated roads are Omotayo Banwo, Kola Iyaomolere,
Omotayo Close, Adetunji Adegbite Street, Ogun Street, Goodluck Street and
Prince Oyewunmi Street.
Mamora said: “People may not really appreciate what it entails
but apart from opening up this area for communication, trade, commerce and so
on, it goes beyond that. How about the stress factor that has been reduced
because if you are coming from the Express now from Third Mainland Bridge, once
you just turn at Ogudu, it leads you straight to Alapere and from there to
Ikorodu.
“Now, when you reduce stress on the people, off course, you also
reduce their tendency to develop hypertension. Again, when you reduce what you
call man-hour loss, you increase productivity. So, this thing has multiplier
effect and the total transformation of this area is commendable.”
Mamora, who is also a former Speaker of Lagos State House of
Assembly, recalled how former Lagos State Governor and now National Leader of
APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu opened up the area in 2002 with the upgrade of
Kola Iya Omolere Road, while his successor, Babatunde Fashola build on the
developmental template laid by the former by upgrading Agboyi Road.
“Now, Governor Ambode, who has been described as the God Given
Governor (GGG), coming on board, has transformed the entire place in totality.
“I am saying this with all due sense of humility, modesty and
passion at my disposal, two Sundays ago when we were coming from Church as I
was driving with my wife, I told her let us just stop by at my hospital because
she never came around to see when the roads were under construction, but I was
always coming around to monitor the progress of work, we drove up to almost
Alapere end and we turned back, when we came back, my wife was asking me where
is our hospital. She was asking me because she just could not believe the
transformation that had taken place,” Mamora narrated.
While endorsing the Governor for a second term in office, Mamora
said: “By God’s grace and by the grace of the people who the Governor has been
serving very well, I pray that Governor Ambode will complete his eight years in
office.”
Also, speaking during the inauguration of network of roads newly
completed in Epe by the Ambode administration, the Oloja of Epe, Oba Kamorudeen
Ishola Animasahun said he was proud of the achievements of the Governor in
office in all sections of the State.
The monarch, who recalled the flyovers built in Abule Egba and
Ajah, as well as the regeneration of Ojodu Berger axis and the bridge/network
of roads in Aboru and Abesan communities, said he was particularly happy that
the gift from Epe to Lagos State in person of Governor Ambode had not
disappointed the people, as there are visible projects in all parts of the State.
He said in the history of Epe and Lagos State, the achievements
of Governor Ambode would never be forgotten, as the trajectory of the State was
being changed for good.
