The governor explained that the state government will not fold its hands and watch the criminals destroy public infrastructure procured at huge expense by the state government .
Governor Sanwo-Olu further explained that the reopening of the Apongbon end of the Eko bridge Monday is to reduce the burden on motorists and commuters who ply the bridge while construction work will also continue at Alaka axis.
The construction work at Eko Bridge which began about six months ago is one of the three bridges that connect Lagos Mainland to the Island.
It has been a nightmare for motorists and commuters who spend several hours navigating other routes to get to their destinations.
