Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, unveiled the reconstructed Abaranje Road in Ikotun-Igando Local Council Development Area and the Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road in Agege Local Government Area in a renewed infrastructural drive in the state.
The 3.86km Abaranje Road in Ikotun – Igando LCDA, Alimosho Local Government, is a major arterial that provides access from the densely populated Abaranje community to connect Igando on LASU-Iba Road.
Speaking during the unveiling, Sanwo-Olu said the reconstruction of the Abaranje Road further demonstrated the commitment of his administration to continually energise the local economy by providing essential infrastructure that would promote development across the nooks and crannies of the state.
He said the government was determined to bring relief to residents and make commuting pleasurable to the people of the state.
“Today marks another significant milestone in our collective journey to achieve the goal set in our transportation and traffic management pillar on our team’s agenda.
“This administration is focused on work-class infrastructure and is driven by a clear vision – to reduce traffic time, save valuable hours, and make life meaningful for every resident of the state,” the governor said.
He said the project would bring relief to residents and motorists in the neighbourhoods.
“This project is more than a road. It is a life-changing experience,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu added that aside from the roads unveiled, Alimosho had a fair share of road projects that had been completed by his administration. They include Akesan Obadore Road, Ishefun Camp-Davies Road with A Jetty, Lagos-Ogun State Boundary Road (Phase 2), Agric Access Road (Bamidele Kasali/Disu Ekunrin Road), Isuti Road.
He added that the administration had also embarked on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of about 28 other roads, namely Akesan-Igando Road; Ijegun-Ijagemo Road; Ile-Eja, Ola-Iya/Ajibola Hassan, Alh Mustapha-Olu Adeyanju With Bridge, Rabiatu Ogedengbe Road Network; Oke-Anu/Ezenwaobi streets; Famakin Road; Rilwan Onifade/Osidele streets in Ikotun; Rabiatu Ogedengbe; Alhaji Waidi Ewenla, and others.
He commended the Lagos State Public Works Corporation for the strategic intervention and reconstruction of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road in Dopemu, saying it showed that the administration’s heavy investment and efforts to reposition the corporation as a world-class construction outfit were indeed yielding fruit.
“Ours is not just about promises and hopes but of plans, delivery, and a commitment to serve the citizenry better,” he said.
