•Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State
Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has directed security agencies to go after criminals who vandalised the Festac-Alakija Bridge.
According to a statement made available to journalists yesterday by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, Sanwo-Olu said that “Lagos will not tolerate any act of vandalism because it is barbaric and criminal.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu said: “I have been informed by officials of the Office of Infrastructure who visited the bridge that the structural integrity of the bridge is intact and remedial work will be executed immediately to protect the columns.”
He warned that “Anyone who is found to be culpable in this horrendous, shameful and condemnable incident will surely face the law.
“Lagos has no place for such barbarism and acts of violence against our critical infrastructure and other facilities. Lagos residents are enjoined to keep an eye on public facilities to protect them against senseless attacks,” he added.
