Airport Road repair: Osinbajo gives Ambode go ahead after verbal war with Fashola

Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has granted permission to the Lagos State Government to embark upon a total reconstruction of the International Airport Road from Oshodi.

This came a few weeks after Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, and Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, engaged in a verbal war over the road.

Ambode claimed that his attempt to repair the road was stalled by Fashola’s ministry, despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval.

Responding, Fashola denied the allegation,‎ ‎ and added that he Ambode had never spoken since he handed over on May 29, 2015.

But in a statement on Wednesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Tunji Bello, Governor Ambode commended Osinbajo for his statesman like approach and for fast tracking the process.
