Tinubu unveils key infrastructure projects in Lagos

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday oversaw the commissioning of major infrastructure projects in Lagos, aimed at improving connectivity and stimulating economic growth.

Represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, the President inaugurated the Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge along with two other projects in the Ikeja axis of the state.

The ceremony attracted several dignitaries, including Governors Dapo Abiodun, Douye Diri, Hope Uzodinma, and Babagana Zulum.

Akpabio, accompanied by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, arrived at the venue around 1:25 p.m. and took a drive along the newly completed road to symbolically declare it open for public use.

Speaking on behalf of the President, Akpabio said the 5.04-kilometre Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge would ease traffic congestion, shorten travel time for commuters within the Ikeja axis, and boost economic activities in the area.

He also noted that the newly inaugurated Multi-Agency Building in Alausa would enhance collaboration among government agencies and improve service delivery, while the Lagos State Geographic Information Service facility would modernise land administration and geospatial data management.

Further project inaugurations are lined up, including the Tolu Schools Complex, comprising 36 schools and a mini football pitch, 19 football pitches at Maracana in Ajegunle, and the Fresh Food Industrial Hub in Abijo, Ibeju-Lekki.

The projects form part of ongoing efforts by the Lagos State Government to expand infrastructure and improve living standards across the state.
