Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commissioned seven (7) completed road projects in eight (8) communities in Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) on Wednesday.
The roads will connect residents to markets, schools, health centres, the Governor said.
Governor Sanwo-Olu announced on X: “We commissioned seven completed road projects across more than eight communities in Badagry Local Government and Olorunda LCDA.
“These roads, spanning over 16 km, are lifelines that connect residents to markets, schools, health centres, and cultural heritage sites.
“One standout project is the Samuel Ekundayo-Toga Road, which we have expanded from a single lane to a dual carriageway with proper drainage. It now provides easier access to the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and helps ease congestion around Limca, Ibereko, and the Badagry Roundabout.
“We also upgraded Hospital Road, improving access to major landmarks such as the Agbalata Market, Nigeria’s First Storey Building, the Heritage Museum, and other historic sites that define Badagry’s rich legacy.
“Badagry holds deep economic and cultural significance not just for Lagos, but for Nigeria. As a gateway to five West African countries, it has the potential to become a major hub for tourism and cross-border trade.
“Our goal is simple: no part of Lagos should feel left behind. We are pushing development deeper into our communities and not just the city centres.
“I understand that some areas, including Oko Afo, Ilogbo, Eremi, and Pota, are still waiting. Work is ongoing, and I appreciate the patience of the residents. We are committed to seeing it through.
“Good infrastructure goes beyond roads and bridges. It creates access, opens up opportunity, and gives communities a stronger foundation to grow.
“Badagry, this is just the beginning.”
