Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is set to hand over more projects to Lagosians with the opening of a network of five roads in the Ikeja Government Reservation Area on Thursday.
Additionally, six major roads (4.7 km) across three Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas in Akoka, Bariga, and Gbagada will be commissioned.
The projects are scheduled to be inaugurated on Thursday, January 9, and Friday, January 10, 2025.
In a statement on Monday, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said the commissioning further attests to Sanwo-Olu’s resolve to sustain the delivery of modern and enduring infrastructure that will make transportation across Lagos easy and smooth.
The 4.7-kilometre arterial roads to be commissioned on Thursday, January 9, include St. Finbarr’s Road, Asani Street, Tijani Ashogbon Street, Jagunmolu Street, Shogbamu Street, and Diya Street, traversing the University of Lagos Main Gate, Akoka, to Deeper Life Church in Gbagada.
In Ikeja GRA, five strategic networks of roads—Oba Dosumu Street, Oduduwa Way, Oduduwa Crescent, Sobo Arobiodu, and Sasegbon Streets—measuring 6.134 km, with an improved drainage network that will stem the perennial flooding in the area, will be commissioned on Friday, January 10.
Residents are urged to remain observant and cooperate with the Lagos State Government to ensure that these roads are not vandalized.
Sanwo-Olu’s administration will continue to upgrade old roads and build more for the benefit of residents, in fulfilment of his promise to Lagosians.
