President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday led the unveiling of key infrastructure projects in Lagos, as part of efforts to improve connectivity and boost economic activities in the state.
The president, represented by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, commissioned the Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge alongside two other projects on the Ikeja axis.
The event drew several dignitaries, including Governors Dapo Abiodun, Douye Diri, Hope Uzodinma, and Babagana Zulum. Accompanied by the host governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Akpabio arrived at the project site at about 1:25 p.m. and drove through the newly completed road as a symbolic gesture marking its official opening.
Speaking on behalf of the President, Akpabio said the 5.04-kilometre Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time for commuters within the Ikeja axis, and enhance economic productivity.
He added that the Multi-Agency Building in Alausa would strengthen inter-agency collaboration and improve public service delivery, while the Lagos State Geographic Information Service (LAGIS) facility would modernise land administration and geospatial data management in the state.
Meanwhile, Tinubu is scheduled to inaugurate additional projects, 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 series of inaugurations underscores ongoing efforts by the Lagos State Government to expand infrastructure and improve living standards across the state.
