Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu will from Monday unveil 36 newly completed roads, five bridges, and a pedestrian bridge across the state.

This was made known by the Special Adviser on Infrastructure, Engr. Olufemi Daramola, during a press briefing on Friday at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, Lagos Government Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja.

Daramola described the unveiling as a major milestone in the Sanwo-Olu administration’s commitment to infrastructure development.

He emphasised that the projects aligned with the THEMES+ agenda, which prioritises 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 commissioning 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.

On Tuesday, 10th December, Governor Sanwo-Olu will open the Ikoyi road network, which includes Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Femi Okunnu Road, and Macpherson Avenue.

As the administration advances through its second term, Daramola assured that infrastructure development would remain a priority. “We shall finish strongly, building a Lagos that is safe, prosperous, and economically vibrant,” he stated.

Good one.

E be like say na only Lagos deh experience massive projects and development...

This is making use of the population you have.

But also, the best thing to do to attract people to your state is having the opportunity to bring investors or building projects that will employ youths and or special universities like aviation or medical or engineering colleges with affordable tuitions to pull people from other states to your state.

Delta and Akwa Ibom state have these things put into place but having a good leader to utilise them is what they lack.

Good work.

This man is doing wonders in Lagos
I wish other governors can emulate
Tho enugu state governor is trying sha

A list of Cost and total distance side by side please?

So much propaganda and white washing in APC junta. If you question them now the have you arrested. No matter how a lie is told it still remains a lie.

Lagos is a master plan state, notting to appreciate you for just do your work and leave the sit let another person enter. Thief

I like the way he's focusing on rehabilitation of damaged roads

I don't know wetin ijegun do them hardly you see any development in ijegun.
The uselessness of local government chairman is on top.

When will they focus on assisting humanity. Only to share rice to party members. People are hungry you're building bridges and more roads.
Why are African leaders so uncaring about focusing on helping the populace achieve a good and enjoyable lifestyle

The more they hate Lagos, the more it keeps prospering

The more they ask their people to move their own 2*2 shops from Lagos, the more FDIs keep pouring in

Lagos and Ogun will soon be interconnected on all fronts and with the coastal road, Yorubaland and the Niger Delta will soar to great heights

No rational governor would emulate failure. This is nonsense. If he's doing well, why is he afraid of being arrested once he leaves office? We have better governors who are accomplishing far greater things than this thing

Other governors focus only on paying civil servant salaries and nothing more, when their tenure finishes, then they move to lagos to live in a place they couldn't build in their own state.

Why is ikorodu always been ignored
Ikorodu is littered with lots of bad road but yet no attention is given to those bad roads

Awesome 👌
There are still so many roads not on the list because construction is still going on on those roads. Roads like Mushin-Isolo road, Gbagada road, Ondo street Ebute Metta, etc are currently undergoing massive construction works.

Thank you my Governor. May God bless Nigeria for ever!
Invest in Lagos today.
