Lagos gov apologises for gridlock chaos
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has apologised to Lagosians who were left stranded in hours-long gridlock owing to the repair work going on at the Independence Bridge in the state.
PUNCH Online reports that the closure of the Independence Bridge for repair left thousands stranded in traffic between Wednesday evening and early Thursday.
Videos and photos of stranded commuters had gone viral on social media following the traffic and prompting a backlash.
Following the development, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, ordered the reopening of the bridge to ease the traffic congestion.
