•Governor Sanwo-Olu apologises

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has apologised to Lagosians who were left stranded in hours-long gridlock owing to the repair work going on at the Independence Bridge in Lagos.

The closure of the Independence Bridge for repair work left thousands of Lagosians grounded in the area between Wednesday evening and early today, reports Channels TV.

Videos and photos of stranded commuters in the area had gone viral on social media following the closure, prompting a backlash.

But this morning, Governor Sanwo-Olu visited the area to inspect the level of work. He apologised to Lagosians over the traffic situation, saying more should have been done in communicating with residents of the state over the development.
