Tinubu To Inaugurate Sanwo-Olu’s 6 Legacy Projects In Lagos


Key legacy projects of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration will be inaugurated by President Bola Tinubu in his first official visit to Lagos State.

Among the iconic projects that would be inaugurated by Tinubu in the two-day visit to his home state include the newly constructed Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, Lagos State Geographic Information Service (LAGIS) building, and Lagos Multi-Agency Building in Alausa.

Other notable projects are Lagos Fresh Food Hub in Abijo, Ajah, Tolu Schools Complex in Ajegunle and Maracana Stadium, comprising 19 mini-football pitches built side by side in Ajegunle.

The details of the presidential visit were revealed during a press briefing held by the State Government yesterday in Alausa, where Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, said Tinubu was expected to inaugurate the listed projects on Wednesday and Thursday.

These projects, Omotoso said, reflected the SanwoOlu administration’s commitment to Lagos development and improved living standards of the residents, stressing that the infrastructure was carefully conceived and executed to address the growing needs of our population, ease mobility, stimulate economic activities, and enhance social welfare.

The commissioner said the projects testified to the administration’s unwavering commitment to building a Greater Lagos that is inclusive, sustainable and globally competitive. He added that development highlighted the importance of continuity in governance and the value of visionary leadership in driving development.

He said: “The presence of Mr. President in Lagos at this auspicious occasion further reinforces the strong partnership between the Federal Government and Lagos State. The planned project unveiling ceremony highlights the importance of continuity in governance and the value of visionary leadership in driving development. “We are confident that these projects will not only serve the immediate needs of our people but also stand as enduring legacies for generations to come.”
