Lagos State, under the administration of Gov Akinwunmi Ambode, is really experiencing great transformation which we see on a daily basis. Part of the transformation is the beautification of all bridges in the state with art paintings and designs so as to take Lagos several steps towards elevating the mega city status. Below are pictures of the works of Polly Alakija, a British muralist based in Lagos, transforming the underside of Falomo bridge into a public space for relaxation and picnic.

Any time u hear about Lagos in dis administration it must be about bridge...haba

The administration of Lagos state get brain oh!
This sure makes sense. Embracing arts & culture.
That single bridge could attract tourists.
I wish I could go and see it live.
I'm just lost for words at this magnificence.

Lagos and bridge are Bread and Butter,

I'm sure you haven't lived in Lagos or urban areas. Bridges are a major infrastructure & for Lagos the transport sector is a key aspect.
Lagos has a dense population & if you have lived in Lagos you'd know that most of the workers spend an high percentage of their wage on transport alone courtesy of bad roads & poor transport network.
If Ambode can get the transport sector booming then Lagos my friend would be a mile ahead of Nigeria itself.

If the amount you spend in building bridges does not equal the amount you spend on education and energy....you ve just been doing beautiful nonsense

All these people you are calling "Homeless" actually have villages and hometowns where they could live much better lives than sleeping under the bridge and living on floating slums with no bathrooms or toilets.
Nigerians still don't understand that living in a city has its downsides and is much more stressful than the serene environment and lifestyle of the countryside... no be by force to live for city o.

Good question.

I'm glad that they are finally sprucing up Lagos using public works of art but I hope they will make use of the many competent Nigerian artists that are there.

cool

Neither is it a crime to seek greener pastures in the city and if the "homeless" should stay back in the villages would there have been a developed 'city'?

Government is for the people and it should have human face and not totally elitist.

So being homeless in the city is better to you than living comfortably in your village home?
I hear you.

Good 4 lagosians

Embracing arts and culture with an oyinbo woman?
Why the perpetual inferiority complex?
When shall we reset our brains?
