Sanwo-Olu passion for motorable and access roads for Lagosians was non- negotiable as the reconstruction, expansion, remodeling and rehabilitation of all roads across the state received highest priority.

This development led to the construction of mass housing estates across the state numbering over 500,000 at various categories by the state government under its Public Private Partnership PPP arrangements.

The Mass Housing projects by Babajide Sanwo-Olu was comparable and compatible with the good old days of Jakande’s administration when aside mass roads and housing estates was constructed across Lagos state that reduced to the barest minimum the problems of accomodations in Lagos for a reasonable period.

The Sanwo-Olu housing projects gained prominence like the construction of many decades Jakande estates spread across length and breadth of Lagos, that attracted not only development but resolved perennial problems of accomodations in the ancient Lagos state that metamorphosed to the current order under Sanwo-Olu’s administration.

Construction of bridges and flyovers across the state had become a continuous occurrences to further opened up more access by both vehicular and human movements in the state, by the nature of the state, initiation of flyovers and high capacity bridges is a continuous process to continue to provide alternative routes and ease of movements to the people of Lagos state.

These among many others included the acquisition and remodeling of federal government properties in Lagos state through a well thought out between Lagos state and the federal government to avoid subsequent abandonment and den of disgruntled elements that could pose as security threats to the state.

The convening of Ehingbeti, the economic and industrial hub of Lagos was a major milestone and efforts towards enhancing a better Lagos state in the current dispensation and subsequent years, as the foresight of the present administration was unique in all ramifications.

To crown his efforts in the infrastructural breakthroughs of Lagos state among many other achievements , the ground breaking ceremony of the 4th Mainland Bridge by the present administration is a dream that must be allowed to come true by only re-electing the Babajide Sanwo-Olu Hamzat leadership, through a massive vote come Saturday March 18, 2023.

Known for his record breaking in all areas, the third Mainland Bridge constructed over four decades ago by the military administration to ease movement from the Lagos Mainland to the Lagos Island was introduced by the current administration with a targeted completion when commenced.

To allow the gigantic investments and all round development of Lagos state to fruition, efforts must be redoubled to support the governor irrespective of creed, religion, extraction or political differences to extricate the cosmopolitan Lagos from the unabated movements and gridlocks.

Aside easing up movements across the state, it will promote not only economic,social and other relevant activities in the state, but encouraged more local and foreign investors as well as influx of other relevant activities into the state.
