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 Ikeja Government Reservation Area on Thursday. Also to be commissioned are six major roads (4.7km) across three Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas in Akoka, Bariga, and Gbagada.
According to the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, the projects will be inaugurated on Thursday, January 9, and Friday, January 10, 2025.
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 6.134km, 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.
Governor 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.
