LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT COMMENCES THE SIX LANES DUALIZATION OF THE LEKKI – ELEKO ROAD – WORK BEGINS FROM OSOROKO AXIS

The dualization (six lanes) of the Lekki Epe Expressway has begun, and the Lagos state Government is doing all possible to see that construction of the road is met before the year ends. Vehicular movement in that axis has risen up to 60% since March this year and Commuters are quite relieved of the fear of congestion on the axis since the commencement of the dualization. 

“It is now clear that we have to dualise the Lekki-Eleko Road beyond the Zone in order to withstand the influx of vehicle that will be making use of the road to access the Zone. With this, we will be able to sustain the investments in the area.”

Ambode expressed optimism that with the Lekki Deep Sea Port, Dangote Refinery and Lekki Airport coming on board, the Lagos East axis would witness massive economic turnaround within the next two years.

Besides, Ambode also commended residents for the peaceful atmosphere witnessed in the Zone in the last one year, which, according to him, was crucial to the development recorded in recent time.

He said about 800 hectares of land would be handed over to the Zone within the next six months for further development. 

“The overall interest is for the residents of Lagos because aside that we will grow the GDP of the state, this place will help to reduce unemployment and capacity for the future,” he said.
