Sanwo-Olu urges residents to pay land use charge for more infrastructure
Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has appealed to the state residents to pay land use charges to enable his administration to provide more infrastructure.
He made the appeal on Friday at the inauguration of another set of roads in Eti Osa Local Government Area.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said that the road rehabilitation was in line with his administration’s commitment to infrastructure development.
He said his administration was determined to ensure that residents had unhindered access to facilities that would improve their lives.
“My appeal is for you to support us. Please pay your land use charge. Do that, and we will do more for you. It is your civic responsibility.
”These roads are very strategic roads within the confines of Femi Pearse and Adeola Odeku. We gave out the job to our local contractor, PWC, and it did a fantastic job.
”This project is yet another milestone in our administration’s commitment to developing and delivering life-changing infrastructure,” he said.
Mr Sanwo-Olu, alongside his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, unveiled Chief Yesufu Abiodun Oniru Road, Akiogun Road (Alternative Route To Admiralty Circle Plaza In Lekki) and Abudu Smith Street, all in Eti Osa Local Government Area.
” These strategic roads will not only make life more meaningful, they will reduce travel time, reduce congestion, and bring quality life to the people of this community.
“Since the third week in December, we started going round the state to inaugurate roads in Kosofe, Ifako-Ijaye, Ikoyi-Obalende, Alimosho and Amuwo-Odofin.
“We still have plans to go to Badagry and Ibeju-Lekki because we promised that no part of Lagos will be left behind.
”In total, we still have about 15 to 17 roads that are nearing completion, which we need to hand over.”
Mr Sanwo-Olu applauded the Oniru of Iru-land, Oba Omogbolahan Lawal, and other stakeholders for their cooperation.
He reiterated the government’s determination to construct the Green Line Rail.
Olufemi Daramola, the special adviser to the governor on infrastructure, said that the rehabilitation of an alternative route to Admiralty Circle Toll Plaza, Lekki – would significantly decongest traffic at the plaza.
