The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, has reaffirmed his people-focused leadership with the delivery of nine completed roads and the commencement of 15 additional projects, bringing the total number of road interventions under his watch to 24.
Eko Hot Blog reports that on Monday, Senator Abiru embarked on an inspection tour of the completed roads, which include Ojokoro Road (Agric), Nurudeen Owolabi, Alogba (Lowa), Apena Jimbo, Jalajugbo, Ibu Owo, Agunfoye, Ojediran, and Andu/Oshikoya.
His visit was met with jubilation as residents, community leaders, and motorists trooped out to welcome him with songs of appreciation.
Looking ahead, the Senator assured communities awaiting relief that work on 15 more roads would commence before the end of the year.
Among these are Soji Oshodi/Mutairu/Okeme Street (Pedro, Somolu/Bariga), Olulonyo–Ebuwawa Road (Agbede, Ikorodu North), Utuh Street (Akanimodo, Mile 12, Agboyi-Ketu), Ondo Street (Ajegunle, Agboyi-Ketu), Otolu–Ilagbo (Lekki), Rala/Oshokeji Street (Ketu, Epe), GRA 2 Road (Alogba), Dagbolu Road, Sikiru Musa Road (Ibonwon, Eredo), Ojuemuren Road (Ikorodu North LCDA), and Francis Okon Street linking Ijede Road to Ikorodu/Itoikin Highway.
The second phases of Ojokoro Road and Agunfoye Road will also be delivered.
Senator Abiru emphasized the essence of the projects during the tour.
“These projects are about easing the daily struggles of our people, opening up communities for economic opportunities, and restoring dignity through improved infrastructure.
I am humbled by the feedback and even more determined to keep doing good.”
Community leaders hailed the intervention as transformative. Nonagenarian Alhaji Jimoh Folorunsho Alogba, 92, said:
“We never thought we would see this road fixed in record time. Senator Abiru has given us hope that responsive leadership still exists.”
Another resident, Mutiu Abiodun Banjo, praised what he described as Abiru’s “listening representation.”
“We raised this concern not too long ago, and today he is here with the completed work. This is leadership in action.”
Beyond road projects, Senator Abiru continues to drive development in education, health, empowerment, and social support.
Through the SAIL Innovation Lab and his Empowerment Foundation, hundreds of youths are being trained in tech and digital skills, many of whom have already secured employment.
As contractors prepare to mobilize for the next phase, residents across Lagos East said the Senator’s DoingGood mantra has become a tangible reality in their daily lives.
