Sanwo-Olu To Unveil 36 Roads, Six Bridges in Infrastructure Drive Across Lagos

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu will from Monday begin to inaugurate 36 roads, five bridges, and a pedestrian bridge completed in the last one year across the state.

The Special Adviser to the governor on Infrastructure,. Olufemi Daramola, said the unveiling is a major milestone of the Sanwo-Olu administration’s term and a commitment to infrastructure development.

He emphasised that the projects prioritise traffic management and transportation to enhance the welfare and productivity of Lagos residents.

Quoting the governor’s recent budget presentation, Daramola reiterated: “Continuous investments in infrastructure are the backbone of our development agenda. The Greater Lagos we envision will emerge on the back of high-quality infrastructure that keeps pace with population growth.”

The projects spanned multiple local government areas, including Agege, Alimosho, Badagry, Eti-Osa, Ikeja, and Kosofe.

Some of the key highlights include the rehabilitation of Dopemu Road in Agege, the construction of Abiola-Onijemo Link Road with a bridge in Ifako-Ijaiye, the reconstruction of Irede Road in Amuwo Odofin, and the rehabilitation of Oyinkan Abayomi Drive in Ikoyi, Eti-Osa.

Despite global economic challenges and inflationary pressures, Daramola noted that the projects were prioritised to ensure timely completion.

“Delivering these projects amidst economic downturns demonstrates the administration’s commitment to its promises and the prosperity of Lagosians,” he said.

The inauguration is set to begin on Monday, 9th December 2024, with the Abiola-Onijemo Link Road in Ifako-Ijaiye and the Alapere Pedestrian Bridge in Kosofe.
