The Lagos state governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is set to hand over additional five network of roads in Ikeja local government to the people of the state to ease vehicular movement.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, Wednesday, said the governor is set to deliver more projects to Lagosians, with the opening of a network of five roads in Ikeja Government Reservation Area, Thursday.
Also to be commissioned are six major roads (4.7kms) across three local governments and Local Council Development Areas in Akoka, Bariga and Gbagada.
The statement reads that the projects will be inaugurated Thursday 9th, and Friday, 10th January 2025.
“The commissioning further attests to Governor 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 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 6.134km, with an improved drainage network that will stem the perennial flooding in the area, will be commissioned on Friday, January 10.”
Residents of the state were therefore urged to remain observant and cooperate with the state government in ensuring that the roads are not vandalised.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration will continue to upgrade old roads and build more for the benefit of residents in fulfillment of his promise to Lagosians,” the statement reads.
