Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State, visited the mid-level Agro Food Hub under construction in Sangotedo, Eti-Osa on Wednesday.
The project which is “90%” complete is built on “23,000” square metres of land, and will provide “storage facilities and trading floors” which will be beneficial to residents in accessing fresh foods.
The Sanwo-Olu administration aims to “decentralize” the distribution of food across the Southwestern State.
The Governor made known, similar hubs are in progress in areas such as, “Agege, Lagos Island, Ikorodu”, and said, these investments are crucial to the State’s food security agenda.
Governor Sanwo-Olu posted on X: “I visited the mid-level Agro Food Hub under construction in Sangotedo, Eti-Osa. The project is over 90 percent complete, with finishing works now ongoing.
“This hub, built on 23,000 square meters of land, will provide storage facilities, trading floors, and parking, helping residents in this corridor access fresh food more easily. It is part of our broader plan to decentralize food distribution across Lagos.
“Similar hubs are underway in Agege, Lagos Island, Oregun, and Ikorodu, with more planned for Epe and Badagry. All of these will connect to the main logistics hub in Ketu-Ereyun, which will serve as the backbone of our food distribution network.
“These investments are key to our food security agenda and align with both the Lagos Agricultural Roadmap and the Produce for Lagos initiative.
“By this time next year, I expect these hubs will already be improving food access for our residents.”
