Gov Ambode Commissions Ipaja-Ayobo, Ikotun-Ejigbo Roads



The Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode yesterday revealed his plans into transforming Ebute-Meta into a tourist haven by establishing a recreation park on the stretch of land overlooking the lagoon, adjacent to the Adekunle axis of the Third Mainland Bridge. Ambode, who spoke during the commissioning of Ipaja-Ayobo and Ikotun-Ejigbo roads and inspection tour of on-going projects across the state, lamented the condition of the piece of land, which he described as an eye sore. 

He therefore gave the auto-mechanics under the bridge seven days to vacate the site and remove all abandoned vehicles for the development project to commence in earnest. The governor said all things being equal, the project would be completed before the end of May 2017, when Lagos State would be 50years-old  

At Ipaja where he inspected the just-completed Ipaja-Ayobo Road, Ambode promised to commence construction works on Ishefun- Ayetoro Road. He said Alimosho would soon become the new Victoria Island

“Three months ago, you would all recall that we came to this particular road and we promised the people of Mosan-Okunola that we would deliver the Ipaja -Ayobo Road before Christmas. It is on the strength of that promise that we are here today. Thank God,we have seen to the completion of this road; it has street lights beginning from Ipaja Roundabout to the end "I just want to assure the people of Alimoso axis that this government is right behind you and we would do everything possible to turn Alimoso to another Victoria Island,” he said.
