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.
