LAGOS PARTNERS PRIVATE ORGANISATIONS TO TACKLE TRAFFIC CHALLENGES
The Lagos State government has announced its plans to go into partnership with some private organisations in other to further tackle transportion and traffic challenges in the State.
Deputy governor Obafemi Hamzat, speaking while representing the governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, revealed that government is negotiating a partnership with Uber on water transportation.
“On our waterways, we are working on making it work for our residents. These things cost a lot of money. We are talking to Uber to partner with us on water transportation,” Hamzat disclosed.
Hamzat also explained that the government was working with some organisations through a public-private partnership to reduce gridlock in the state through its waterways.
“Already, the State Public Works Corporation has started palliative works across the State, this rehabilitation work would be intensified more when the rain subsides,” Hamzat said.
Hamzat also disclosed that the government have acquired six pothole filling machines to be used when rehabilitation of the roads begins.
On other channels of transportation in the state, the deputy governor said raising funds for rail projects in the Lagos State development master plan has been a challenge. He urged Lagosians to be patient with the government in prioritising its projects.
