Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday represented President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of six key projects executed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The projects include Open-Mende-Ojota Link Bridge Project
Others unveiled were the Multi-Agency Complex and the Lagos Geographic Information System (LAGIS) building in Alausa, now renamed the Bola Ahmed Administrative Complex.
The Senate President unveiled the projects alongside Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma; the senator representing Lagos East District, Tokunbo Abiru; Sanwo-Olu, and some other dignitaries.
While cutting the ribbon, he said, ‘On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects’.
He described them as critical to the development of the nation’s commercial capital.
According to him, the 5.04-kilometre Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge would significantly ease traffic congestion, improve economic activities, and reduce travel time for residents and commuters.
“More than just a road; it is a bridge to opportunity. In Lagos, movement is everything. When traffic improves, productivity grows, and lives get better,” he said.
According to the president, the Lagos Geographic Information System (LAGIS) building represents the future.
“Data drives development, and a modern land administration system is essential to unlocking economic value.
“These projects align with our national vision: a Nigeria that is modern, digitally enabled, and economically strong. We must replicate this standard across the country,” the president added.
He hailed Governor Sanwo-Olu for his infrastructural drive and asked Lagosians to protect the facilities.
“To the people of Lagos, these projects are for you. Protect them and build on them. I commend Governor Sanwo-Olu and his team for their financial discipline and focus on service delivery,” he added.
