Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, yesterday commissioned the Lagos-Ogun State Boundary Roads, Phase II, and said his administration would continue to pursue the mass infrastructure delivery vision of late Alhaji Lateef Jakande to enhance connectivity.

Sanwo-Olu said although Jakande had been laid to rest, his vision for the state was a pathway which his administration would preserve to open up roads in vulnerable communities for progress.

He said “What Alhaji Lateef Jakande stood for is what we are doing here today,” he said, adding, that the network of roads, located in Abule Egba, Meiran and Agbado ran parallel to the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and would address gridlock, boost connectivity and address perennial flooding on the axis.

Citynews Nigeria gathered that the governor said the project was born out of commitment of the government to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time, and stress on communities to boost socio-economic wellbeing.

“I am happy that we have been able to provide this model for our people,” Sanwo-Olu said.
