Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said he has fulfilled his administration’s promise following the opening of the last Red Line flyover project at the Mushin area of the state on Saturday.
While commissioning the infrastructure, Sanwo-Olu stressed his administration’s commitment in making life better for Lagosians.
According to a statement on the state government’s Facebook page, Sanwo-Olu disclosed that members of the host community will benefit from the project construction as well as bring huge relief to traffic congestion along the area.
The project, as contained in the statement, was undertaken by Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
It connects Agege Motor Road from Onipanu, just as it solved congestion and delays associated with railway level crossing at Ogunmokun axis.
“With this new infrastructure, we have ensured there is minimal disruption on the Red Line corridor. For us, we have kept our promise to the citizens and made their lives better. The quality of infrastructure we have provided is about making the lives of our citizens better, improving their means of livelihood and quality of life.
“The Mushin overpass is strategically important for ease of movement and connectivity within Mushin and Onipanu communities, opening new routes to Agege Motor Road, Post Office Road and Ogunmokun axis.
“This infrastructure has brought not only traffic improvement, but also huge economic value to the area.” Sanwo-Olu said in his address.
