Tinubu To Commission Six Sanwo-Olu Legacy Projects, Including 5-km Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge

Tinubu to commission six Sanwo-Olu legacy projects, including Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, which stretches about 5.04 km.

The project was initiated to address traffic challenges within the Ojota, Maryland, Mende, Opebi, and Allen axes.

LASTMA has earlier announced the deployment of over 500 personnel to manage and control traffic during the President’s two-day visit.

Key legacy projects of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration, including the newly constructed Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, will be inaugurated on April 8 and 9 2026 by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his official two-day visit to Lagos State.

Speaking on the newly constructed Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, said the project was initiated to address traffic challenges within the Ojota, Maryland, Mende, Opebi, and Allen axes.

He noted that the new Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge has created a direct and efficient linkage between Central Business District of Ikeja and residential areas in Ojota, which hitherto had limited and indirect road connections.

“The Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge project was originally conceived over 20 years ago, during the administration of former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu,” he said during a press briefing held by the State Government on Monday in Alausa.

“It was revived and officially flagged off in January 2022 by Governor Sanwo-Olu, making the infrastructure both a legacy project and a continuation of long-term urban planning in Lagos,” Omotoso said.

The General Manager of Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) has earlier announced that over 500 personnel will be deployed to adequately manage and control traffic during the President’s two-day visit.

“As we prepare for this historic visit, we assure residents of Lagos that all arrangements have been put in place to ensure a smooth, secure, and successful event. We urge the public to cooperate with the authorities, especially in areas where there may be temporary traffic adjustments or security protocols,” Omotoso added.
