The Presidential Community Engagement Office (South-West) applauds the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, for his prompt and effective response to the unforeseen difficulties caused by the recent closure of the Independence Bridge in Lagos. His quick decision to reopen the bridge has significantly eased the burden on road users and demonstrates his unwavering commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians.



We also extend our appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his continued commitment to infrastructure development and the welfare of the people. The Renewed Hope Agenda remains focused on delivering sustainable solutions, ensuring that critical road networks are rehabilitated while minimising disruption to daily life.

Furthermore, we acknowledge the efforts of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who promptly addressed the concerns of Lagos residents and ensured that necessary support was provided to manage traffic challenges. His proactive engagement underscores the importance of synergy between federal and state governments in addressing infrastructural needs.

The proactive measures taken by the Ministry of Works, including the planned comprehensive rehabilitation of the bridge, reassure citizens that this administration prioritises both safety and efficiency in its infrastructural projects. We urge continued collaboration between federal and state agencies to ensure seamless execution of these initiatives. We remain committed to engaging with communities to ensure their voices are heard in governance.
