“In line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Executive Order on “Operation Zero Potholes in Lagos” and his passion to ameliorate the sufferings and pains of commuters, we have commenced full-scale rehabilitation work. The weather has not been friendly but we are committed to carrying out the directive of the Governor,” he said.
He added: “In line with the order, we had to fix our plants, put some equipment and logistics in place, but the rain had slowed down our speed of delivery.
