The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Monday commissioned the Abiola-Onijemo Link Road and Bridge in Ifako Ijaiye Local Government Area (LGA).
Mr. Sanwo-Olu during the commissioning noted that the significant project establishes a crucial connection between the Abiola/Ajayi/Ogba and Obawole/Iju-Ishaga communities.
“The road features a reinforced concrete bridge, complete with retaining walls. It includes carriageways, slip roads, walkways, and solar-powered street lighting, all designed to accommodate our growing population.
“Additionally, it incorporates a drainage system to address long-standing flooding issues, providing vital protection for the surrounding communities,” he said.
Governor Sanwo-Olu disclosed that the Abiola-Onijemo Link Road is just one of the 36 newly constructed roads and bridges his government will be commissioning this week, stressing that the project represents more than just infrastructure as it connects lives, fosters unity, and stimulates economic growth.
“As we move towards a Greater Lagos, I assure you that we remain focused and committed to building a state that works for everyone,” he stated, adding that he also inspected the newly constructed Alapere Pedestrian Bridge before the commissioning.
“Previously destroyed by a vehicle carrying heavy-duty materials, the bridge has now been rebuilt, elevated, and equipped with CCTV cameras to ensure safety and durability. I urged the community to take ownership of this project, as it belongs to them.”
He promised that his administration would commission numerous projects to conclude the year on a strong note.
