Sanwo-Olu to open 11 roads on Thursday

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is set to open a network of five roads in the Ikeja Government Reservation Area on Thursday.

Also to be opened are six major roads (4.7 km) across three local governments and local council development areas in Akoka, Bariga and Gbagada. The projects will be unveiled on Thursday and Friday.

The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, disclosed  in a statement on  Tuesday that the opening 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 4.7km roads to be unveiled 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 inaugurated on Friday, January 10,” Omotoso said.

The government urged residents to remain observant and cooperate with the Lagos State Government “to ensure that these 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,” he added.
