President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday inaugurated major infrastructure projects in Lagos to improve connectivity and support economic growth.

The president who was represented at the event by Senate President Godswill Akpabio commissioned the Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, the Lagos State Geographical Information System building, and a new Multi-Agency Building.

In his remarks, Tinubu called on other state governments to follow Lagos’ example by replicating such projects across the country.

Speaking on some of the projects, the president disclosed that the 5.04-kilometre Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge would ease traffic congestion and reduce travel time around the Ikeja area, adding that the Multi-Agency Building in Alausa would equally improve cooperation among government agencies and enhance public service delivery.

Describing the projects as a sign of purposeful governance, Tinubu indicated that development should be visible and beneficial to the people, amid thanking Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his team for their work.

Earlier, Sanwo-Olu praised Tinubu’s legacy, saying his leadership helped transform Lagos and laid the foundation for the ongoing development, modernization and administration in the state.

The event was attended by several governors and top officials, including Governors Dapo Abiodun, Douye Diri, Hope Uzodinma, and Babagana Zulum
