communities in the state with Lagos State.
According to a statement signed by Abayomi Adesanya, the state APC Publicity Secretary, on Thursday in Lagos, the party described the project as “laudable and remarkable’’.
Reports have it that Mr. Akeredolu had on April 5 signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to construct the road. The road is expected to connect Araromi Seaside in Ilaje
Local Government Area of Ondo State with Akodo in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The road is expected to be completed within two and half years. Mr. Adesanya said, “This is laudable and remarkable, because in less than 100 days of the APC-led administration in the state, the governor has attracted such a monumental project to the state. “The first and only MoU ever signed by NDDC with any state government within its mandate area (the Niger-Delta region). “The people of Ilaje and the Niger-Delta areas of the state have rolled out drums to thank Akeredolu and NDDC for this laudable stride.”
He said that when completed the road would help to decongest the Benin-Ore-Lagos Expressway. “Once this project is completed, the people can now travel to Lagos by road in less than an hour, as against the usual four to five hours being spent through other roads to Lagos,” he said. Mr. Adesanya assured the people of the state that more of such laudable projects would be executed by the Akeredolu-led government in the state.
Now, no longer do travelers to the Eastern part of Nigeria, or to Ondo State, need to make the tortuous, long journey of the children of Israel through Lagos-Ibadan-Ore expressway anymore. They will be able to beat traffic, time & stress. More importantly, this is a VERY GOOD NEWS for the 'New Lagos' Project of Lagos State as commuters can easily migrate between the Free Trade Zone axis of the state in Ibeju-Lekki (where Dangote Refinery, Lekki Deep Seaport & new international airport reside) and as far as Ondo State in good, workable time. It will further douse the fears of decongestion on the Lekki-Epe corridor.
It makes investing in land in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos more attractive. Very affordable options still affordable. Call KORP Properties on 08183567878 for enquiries now!
