Sanwo-Olu Set To Open 11 Roads In Ikeja, Bariga Areas

The Lagos State 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 on Thursday.

Also to be commissioned 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 inaugurated on 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 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 6.134 km, 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 said it will continue to upgrade old roads and build more for the benefit of residents in fulfilment of his promise to Lagosians.
