Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to equitable development across the state with the inauguration of seven new road networks.
The governor said the newly completed infrastructure, spanning 4.7 kilometers across Somolu, Lagos Mainland, and Kosofe local government areas, will enhance commuting, boost real estate value, and improve the quality of life for residents.
Speaking at the ceremony, Sanwo-Olu declared: “Joy is coming to every part of Lagos as we fulfill our commitment to equitable development,”
The roads are St. Finbarr’s College Road, Asani, Tijani Ashogbon, Jagunmolu, Shogbamu, and Diya Streets, which connect iconic landmarks such as the University of Lagos, St. Finbarr’s College, CMS Grammar School, and the Deeper Life Headquarters.
He emphasised that the project aligns with his administration’s THEMES+ agenda, which prioritises transformative development across all sectors.
The governor highlighted the strategic importance of the new infrastructure, noting how they support education, commerce, and residential communities.
“These roads are equipped with walkways, service ducts, and solar-powered streetlights, showcasing our unwavering focus on quality and delivering impact-driven initiatives across Lagos,” he said.
He urged residents to maintain the infrastructure, saying: “With proper maintenance, we can channel resources to new projects, scaling up our infrastructure focus.”
The governor also affirmed his administration’s resolve to deliver a “Greater Lagos” through sustained infrastructural investment.
He expressed optimism that ongoing and future projects would bring more transformational progress to the state.
