Sanwo-Olu innaugurates two major roads in Alimosho, Agege

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has inaugurated two major road projects in the Alimosho and Agege areas of the state.

The governor inaugurated the newly rehabilitated and dualised 3.86-kilometre Abaranje Road in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA.

He also inaugurated the 1.8-kilometre Dopemu Road in Agege Local Government Area, which was renamed as ‘Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road’ in his honour.

The governor stated that the Abaranje project, which commenced 20 months ago, was designed to eliminate perennial flooding, enhance connectivity, and reduce travel time for commuters.

“The reconstruction of this famous Abaranje Road is a testament to our determination to bring relief to residents and road users on this axis.

“This project is more than a road expansion and reconstruction; it is a life-changing experience for our citizens living on this road.

“The means of livelihoods lost due to the deplorable condition of the road have now been restored,” Sanwo-Olu said.

Recall that before its rehabilitation, Abaranje Road was narrow, riddled with failed sections, and prone to erosion, conditions that made it a nightmare for road users and residents.

The governor was joined at the commissioning by his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat; members of the state executive council; and community leaders.

Sanwo-Olu also inspected the Ikotun Roundabout, a gridlock point in Alimosho, where he proposed the construction of a flyover to ease traffic congestion.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure, Olufemi Daramola, said the roads would reduce travel time, enhance mobility, and improve safety for all road users.

“The successful construction of these roads demonstrates this administration’s commitment to bridging infrastructure gaps and improving the lives of Lagosians,” Daramola said.
