“We must start thinking of the future concerning that road. We said we will
have an International Airport in Epe, and an Export Processing Zone in Lekki and
a Deep Seaport also in Lekki. Should we not start thinking about how we will
improve and create a 10-lane road between Ikorodu, Itoikin, Epe and Ijebu Ode
so that people can go out from there? There is no point constructing the road,
paying tolls and in five years’ time, the road is gone.

“We have said this is a government of continuity, but it is continuity with
improvement. It is about making life easier for the people. We are receptive to
new ideas and that is why we are going to be creative, innovative and thinking
out of the box,” he said.
