Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State is set to inaugurate five additional roads to further enhance the socio-economic development of residents.

This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Gbenga Omotosho, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy.

The projects are slated for inauguration on Jan. 9 and 10.

The roads to be handed over include St Finbarr’s Road and five others in Akoka, Bariga, and Gbagada, as well as the opening of a network of five roads in Ikeja Government Reservation Area.

Additionally, six major roads (4.7km) across three Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas in Akoka, Bariga, and Gbagada will be inaugurated.

According to Omotosho, this development is a testament to the Sanwo-Olu-led administration’s commitment to delivering modern and enduring infrastructure that will make transportation across Lagos easy and smooth.

“The 4.7km arterial roads to be commissioned include St Finbarr’s Road, Asani Street, Tijani Ashogbon Street, Jagunmolu Street, Shogbamu Street, and Diya Street.

“These roads traverse the University of Lagos Main Gate in Akoka to Deeper Life Church in Gbagada,” he said.

In Ikeja GRA, five strategic networks of roads with an improved drainage network, are also to be inaugurated.

They are Oba Dosumu Street, Oduduwa Way, Oduduwa Crescent, Sobo Arobiodu, and Sasegbon Streets, measuring 6.134km.

Omotosho urged residents to be vigilant and report any act of vandalism on public infrastructure.

“Sanwo-Olu’s administration will continue to upgrade old roads and build new ones for the benefit of residents, in fulfillment of his promise to Lagosians,” he said.
