Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, is set to commission multiple projects embarked upon and completed by his administration, including the new Senate Building of Lagos State University (LASU).
The state’s Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Ade Akinsanya, in a statement on Monday said the commissioning would run from May 14 to May 26.
According to him, the first set of projects to be commissioned are the Ilaje Road and Bariga Waterfront Jetty, as well as car park designed to enhance intermodal transportation and improve connectivity from the mainland to the island and the Ikorodu axis of the state.
Mr Akinsanya also said that seven new world class ferries would be unveiled.
“It is pertinent to note that the Lagos State Government has procured seven ferries, five of which will be commissioned and they are named after monumental events, notable towns and Lagos deities as a reminder of our historical values,” he said.
“The names are –Itesiwaju Eko, Ipakodo, Alausa, Adamu-Orisa, Ejinrin, Eko-Akete and Zangbeto. These are ferries that the citizens will find comfortable, safe as well as affordable.
“Another project scheduled for commissioning is the new Senate Building of the Lagos State University (LASU) in Ojo, which is yet another confirmation of the commitment of Governor Ambode’s administration towards ensuring meaningful growth in the educational sector.
“This project will change the landscape of the University and will remain another legacy project of this administration.”
Akinsanya said that as a follow-up to the Lagos Theatre in Oregun commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari recently, two additional theatres would be unveiled at Igando and Epe, while that of Badagry would be commissioned at a later date.
A state-of-the-art facility in the Central Business District, Alausa, and several road projects would also be inaugurated by Ambode, he said.
