Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday commissioned a new council secretariat complex, a legislative chamber, and an interlocking road project in the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area.
The newly unveiled multi-storey administrative building, named in honour of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was delivered by the council chairman, Hon. Abdullahi Olowa. It replaces the previous structure that was razed during the October 2020 #EndSARS protests.
The facility includes an ICT centre, CCTV surveillance, and 24-hour solar-powered lighting.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, while addressing guests at the event, said:
“These impactful projects underscore our commitment to inclusive development and responsive grassroots governance.
“They reflect the progress inspired by our themes, plus agenda and the determination of this community to rebuild and thrive.”
The governor also flagged off construction work on Citrus Gardens, a housing initiative being executed through a public-private partnership.
He further announced infrastructure plans, including the expansion of Eleranigbe Road and the construction of a bridge linking Sangotedo to the Lekki airport corridor.
“We’ve commenced the Sangotedo Bridge crossing Omu Creek, and once completed, it will unlock access across this entire axis,” Sanwo-Olu said.
Council chairman Olowa, in his remarks, stated that the new secretariat would rejuvenate governance in the local area.
“This is one of the most advanced council complexes in the country, with high-speed internet and smart infrastructure to foster innovation,” he said.
He added that the Citrus Gardens project would boost economic activity in Ibeju-Lekki.
“With features like paved roads, security, indoor recreation, and green spaces, this estate will redefine sustainable living in our community,” he noted.
