In a related development, the Lagos State Governor while on an inspection tour at the Opebi-Mende-Ojota link bridge on Tuesday disclosed that Julius Berger will complete the construction project by the third quarter of next year.

While itting that the bridge was situated in a very tough terrain, Sanwo-Olu disclosed that the project manager had to do a 20-metre excavation to ensure that a solid bridge was executed.

The governor said that the bridge would have provisions for cycling and an ample pedestrian walkway to encourage Lagosians who want to exercise by the bridge to do so.

Furthermore, he stated that the Opebi-Ojota link bridge would solve a major traffic problem and provide alternative routes for Lagos residents.

Awesome!

Truly "the future of Lagos is brighter than ever.’’

We will give all the our Lagos state government needs to ensure that this project succeeds phenomenally. We just can not afford to rest on our oars. The black race looks up to us.

Please invest in Lagos and the neighbouring Yoruba South West Nigeria states for great returns on investment and the best investor friendly experience in Africa.

Nice one from Lagos. Let our individual governors make their best of their states, and not being busy giving flimsy excuses. Every state receives and generates money. Let them use it to work, instead of hoarding it all, the greedy lot

Governor wey go work go work, irrespective of party

Good one lagos

Ekoo

Lol

Another one

HOW MANY TIMES WILL THEY CONSTRUCT MARINA -- MILE 2 INTERCHANGE..... FASHOLA STARTED IT AND CASHED OUT.... SANWO OLU HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTING IT FOREVER.

Anyway.. all we know.. LOOTING IN PROGRESS

The train will definitely get to Lekki Ajah Axis with time.

I believe we are beginning to see why development of infrastructure is key and timely so we would not want to mess it up.

Other States should start plotting their own train services on the pronto.

You are always sad about news like this, always being pessimistic, and saying it won't be completed. And even after the bridge or railway is constructed, you won't be satisfied still, you will also say something bad will happen to it.

Why so much hatred and pain, what's you guys problem. Most of you are here for bad news, you enjoy seeing like 100 bad news in front-page, isn't it?

If Peter Obi doesn't win, then the country must fall, so you can prove a point, isn't it? Your master also always looks for bad news, yesterday he couldn't find geniune one, so he complained about Nigeria having the largest delegation in the COP23, WTF, wetin be una problem naa

The Government are from ourselves!

We are corrupt just as our politicians!

At least some jobs would be created!

Good development

God bless sanwo Olu and his aid and may thunder fires PITOBI ANF his aids and Ipob in Nigeria 😂😆

Let them be deceiving Nigeria Oduduwa Republic loading.


By the time Northern Nigeria will give Tinubu the GEJ treatment come 2027 the Oduduwa agenda will arise again.

Tinubu is President of Nigeria, so Lagos will most likely achieve any project they desire.
