Governor of Lagos state,  Akinwunmi Ambode has said that his administration would pay more attention to the Power, Environment and Transportation sectors in the next two years to drive all round development of the State.

Ambode during an interview session with the press said the three sectors were crucial to driving social infrastructure in Lagos state. He said;

“In the last two years, what we have done is just to create a foundation of a vision that drives Lagos to the next 50 years. There is nothing that we can do in the next two years that is ever going to be enough. “There are three things I want people to watch out for in the next 12 to 18 months, the issue of power, the issue of environment and the sanitation and issue of transportation. I believe those three sectors are the key sectors that can drive every other social infrastructure that we will be dealing with in Lagos.”

On the environment, Ambode said it was of vital importance that the State must strive to be cleaner and safer not just for residents alone, but also for visitors and investors willing to do business in the State. “Lagos must get cleaner, safer and the way people commute from one place to another and one thing with Lagos, the more success you record, the more people want to come into the city,” he said. the transportation sector, the Governor said the Bus Reform initiative would take off before the end of the year with the introduction of modern buses that would not only transform the transport

We do not know everything. So, there are other States that are doing some things better than us. So, we must be submissive enough to learn from them and the same thing with other States from us. And that is the whole lesson about leadership, leadership is about learning, it is about listening and which is what we do very well in Lagos,” he said
