Governor Ambode, who was represented by members of the State Executive Council who spoke simultaneously at five different Local Government Areas of the State during the commissioning said the people must take ownership of government facilities in their domain, as such, would go a long way in bringing about the enjoyment of the facilities for a long time.

In Apapa Local Government, Ambode was represented by the State’s Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Social Development, Uzamat Akinbile-Yusuf. The projects commissioned by the Governor include 9 roads within the Apapa Business District, Ultra-modern Liverpool Jetty, 12 block of classrooms at Methodist Nursery and Primary School and 4 block of classrooms at Arakan Barracks Nursery and Primary School.

In Badagry, the Governor who was represented by the Special Adviser on Education, Obafela Bank-Olemoh commissioned a block of 16 classrooms and another block of 8 classrooms, as well as 6 classrooms in Badagry West Local Council Development Area.

In Kosofe, the Governor represented by the Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Oluseye Oladejo commissioned road projects at Oladele, Shoyebi and Ademola Taiwo/Alamu Taiwo/Ogunsola Streets.

In Ikorodu, the Governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for the Environment, Hon. Babatunde Adejare, commissioned an Ultra-modern shopping complex at the popular Sabo Market. He also commissioned the Ota-Ona Dual Carriage Road as well as block of classrooms in Agbede, all in Ikorodu.

Ambode who was represented in Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local government area by the State’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Adeniji Kazeem, commissioned an Ultra-modern Court Complex and a 360-meters interlocking road with drainage situated in Aduke Street.

The governor, in a series of tweets also said that with Lagos now an oil producing state, the three senatorial districts in the state “have all combined to open up the economic and investment potentials of the State”.

“From Lagos East axis we have the petrochemical refinery factory by the Dangote Group which will come on board by 2018.

From Lagos West axis there is crude oil while the Lagos Central axis continues to serve as the financial district of Nigeria.

We are likely to have three sea ports in Lagos in another two years – the Badagry Deep Sea Port, the Lekki Port and also the Apapa port.

With all these things the future prosperity of Lagos is more than well assured and we are happy that we are part of that. #ItesiwajuEko,” he tweeted.
