Situated on a 6.5-hectare plot along the Lagos-Badagry corridor, the Ojo General Hospital is a multi-specialist facility designed to address the shortage of medical services in the Lagos West Senatorial District.
Upon completion, the 280-bed hospital will be the largest healthcare facility in the area, working in tandem with other existing primary and secondary care centers in the region.
The hospital’s strategic location, bordered by the Ojo military cantonment, Lagos State University, and the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (BLUE LINE) infrastructure, ensures easy accessibility for both patients and healthcare workers.
Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized the importance of the hospital in enhancing medical care for local residents, promising a transformative experience in healthcare service delivery.
He said: “We have just taken a tour to see the construction work being carried out on this hospital project. Our word here is to encourage the contractor, who, we believe, is dealing with a big task, given the magnitude of the project.
We will give the contractor all the support and encourage them to give their best. Whatever is to be done on our own part, we will fulfil our obligations.
“Based on the pace of work, we are hoping the project should have been completed in the next 12 months, which means that the contractor should hand over the project by the end of the year. We will push everything to ensure that this task becomes a reality in the next 12 months.
We extend our appreciation to stakeholders in the community for being part of this journey but we urge them to be patient while the construction continues.”
Sanwo-Olu said when the project is completed, the hospital would be part of the infrastructure initiated by his administration to bring improvements to the Ojo area.
Listing other ongoing projects in the area, the Governor noted that the hospital project had been sited in front of the Blue Line which will terminate at Okokomaiko.
“There is a complete renewal of infrastructure in this axis, which shows that our Government is working to fulfil its promises to our residents in Ojo and Badagry Division,” Sanwo-Olu said.

Aside from the medical departments, the project is being developed with four blocks of Doctors’ residence.
The semi-detached accommodation comprises eight units of three-bedroom apartment in each block, making a total of 64 apartments.
Facilities in the main hospital building will include delivery theatre and wards, paediatrics, pharmacy, Oncology and Gynaecology, Accident and Emergency, Intensive Care Unit, surgical wards, dialysis centre, administrative unit, and outpatient department.
The ancillary facilities include morgue, central laboratory, equipment storage facility, laundry, bank, engineering department and parking lot.
Turning the sod to flag off the construction of the Platinum Shopping Complex, Sanwo-Olu said: “This is an attempt to achieve regeneration not only to improve infrastructure but also to reclaim the aesthetic properties of the environment and improve people’s lifestyles.
All the infrastructure projects being sited in this area are designed to improve the socio-economic power of our citizens in this corridor.”
