He said, “one of the complaints I got last night was the ramp was steep and the angle was not wide enough. So I called in last night to see what can be done regarding that to enable a rapid run through.
“We have worked very hard with the government of Lagos State. We planned for the worst and we hoping for the best. Our team has been on the ground for two weeks. Now that the process has started I came out to see how our plan is playing out.”
