Sanwo-Olu Fulfils Promise In Alimosho, Commissions Flyover And Four Road Project
- Sanwo-Olu completes the Phase II of the Lagos-Ogun Boundary Road project.
- He said the road projects were conceived to provide alternative routes to Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and ease vehicular flow in and out of the two States.
With the completion of Phase II of the Lagos-Ogun Boundary Road project by the Lagos State Government, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has fulfilled yet another promise to the people of Alimosho.
Sanwo-Olu delivered and commissioned four critical road projects in Agbado-Oke Odo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), bringing huge relief inflow of traffic from the Lagos boundary communities into Ogun State.
The newly constructed road network, totaling 6.26 kilometers, includes Old Otta Road, Adekoya Road, Makinde Road, and Suberu Oje Road. The Governor also commissioned a 120-meter long bridge linking the boundary communities to Otta in Ogun State. Each project is a dual carriageway with reinforced concrete drains and walkways.
Sanwo-Olu formally opened the remodeled Abesan Youth Centre constructed in Mosan-Okunola LCDA by the Ministry of Youth and Social Development.
All activities literally halted in Alimosho for the inauguration of the projects, with the army of Agbado Oke-Odo residents trooping out to receive the Governor and members of the State’s cabinet.
Sanwo-Olu said the road projects were conceived to provide alternative routes to Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and ease vehicular flow in and out of the two States. The Governor said the new infrastructure would complement the 21 roads and two bridges already delivered in the first phase of the projects by the last administration.
The new roads, he said, were also designed to abate perennial flooding in the area.
Sanwo-Olu also said the roads would enhance traffic connectivity and shorten the distance, reducing man-hour loss in traffic and the stress of commuting along the Old Abeokuta Expressway.

He said: “Today, we are formally commissioning the Phase II of the Lagos-Ogun Boundary Road project to further demonstrate our unflinching commitment to completing all outstanding projects inherited and to bring succor to our people. These roads are of strategic importance to our citizens who live in boundary communities.
“More importantly, the completion of these projects shows the premium our administration places on bridging the infrastructure deficit as a strategy to creating the enabling environment for economic prosperity and improvement of the living condition of our citizens. This is in line with our vision to improve connectivity within Alimosho and neighbouring Ogun communities, thereby reducing travel time and loss of man-hour as well as boosting trade, commerce and investment opportunities in the axis.”
The Governor said the newly reconstructed roads, which are parallel to Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, would offer stress-free alternatives for motorists connecting Ota from Abule Egba-Ekoro highways through the Agbado Oke-Odo axis.
He said the road projects would directly impact the economies of the two States while also improving the socio-economic well-being of the people by boosting the free movement of goods in and out of Lagos and neighbouring Ogun communities.
Amidst thunderous ovation by residents of Mosan-Okunola LCDA, Sanwo-Olu inaugurated the Abesan Youth Centre to facilitate robust youth engagement and enhance activities geared towards moulding the character of young people positively in their communities.
The Governor said the building of modern Youth Centres represented a thrust of his administration’s development agenda to cultivate a healthy youth population that would be self-reliant and entrepreneurially oriented. He disclosed that seven other Youth Centres would be completed in the coming months in Badagry, Epe, Obalende-Ikoyi, Orile-Agege, Ibeju Lekki, Surulere, and Ikorodu.
