Sanwo-Olu Set To Open 11 Roads In Lagos 

Lagos Governor, Mr 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 (IGRA) on Thursday.

Governor Sanwo-Olu will also commission six major roads (4.7 km) across three Local Governments (LGs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Akoka, Bariga and Gbagada.

The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, made this known in a statement, copy of which was made available to newsmen, saying that the projects, which would be inaugurated on Thursday, 9th and Friday, 10th January 2025, further attested to Governor Sanwo-Olu’s resolve to sustain the delivery of modern and enduring infrastructure that would make transportation across Lagos easy and smooth.

According to Omotoso, the 4.7-kilometer 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.

He said the five strategic networks of roads in Ikeja GRA to be commissioned on Friday, January 10, include Oba Dosumu Street, Oduduwa Way, Oduduwa Crescent, Sobo Arobiodu, and Sasegbon streets – measuring 6.134 km, with an improved drainage network that would stem the perennial flooding in the area.

The commissioner urged residents to remain observant and cooperate with the Lagos State Government to ensure that these roads were not vandalized, assuring that Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration would continue to upgrade old roads and build more for their benefit in fulfillment of his promise to Lagosians.
