Apapa: The good times are back

SIR: Whatever magic the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, puts in place to ease the traffic gridlock in Apapa must be sustained. I spent less than 35 minutes from Shangisha to Lagoon Hospital, Apapa.

I must also thank the governor for saving the life of my bosom friend, who was involved in an accident along Lekki-Epe Expressway last Sunday.

The swift response of the emergency team with just a call to 112 and the mobile ambulance (which I now termed Hospital on the wheel) was key to my friend’s survival. He was treated free of charge!

I recall that those mobile clinics were launched by the governor just two weeks earlier.

I must also commend the effort of the medical team at the Lagos Trauma (Accident and Emergency Centre), Ikeja Toll Gate, Near 7-Up. You guys are wonderful and I thank you all!

Honestly, Nigeria should learn from this example.
