Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has apologised to Lagosians who were left stranded in hours-long gridlock following the on going repair work at the Independence Bridge in Lagos.
The closure of the Independence Bridge for repair work left hundreds of Lagosians grounded in the area between Wednesday evening and early Thursday. Videos and photos of stranded commuters in the area had gone viral on social media owing to the closure, prompting a backlash.
However, on Thursday morning, Governor Sanwo-Olu visited the area to observe the level of work. He apologised to Lagosians over the situation, noting that more should have been done in communicating with residents of the state over the development.
