Fuel, Power shortage: Ambode appeals to Lagosians

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, through the commissioner for Information and
strategy, Steve Ayorinde, has appealed to Lagosians to bear with the government over the lingering shortage of fuel and power across the state. In a statement issued on Wednesday by the State's Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, the Governor said Lagos State consumes more than 40 per cent of the fuel and energy needs of the country and therefore appreciates that the impact of the scarcity would be felt more in the state. He urged residents to remain calm, orderly and law-abiding as government is doing everything possible within its power to find an immediate

solution to the crisis.
According to the statement, Governor Ambode
says he shares the pain and discomfort of
Lagosians and assures them that President
Muhammadu Buhari is deeply touched by the
situation and is working round the clock to
alleviate the suffering of the people.
