The Lagos state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso has given the assurance that the administration of governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, would complete all the projects he embarked on and none would be abandoned or left uncompleted before the end of his tenure.
Omotoso stated this at the weekend during an interactive session with journalists in Lagos. He noted that Governor Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, are working hard to ensure no project is abandoned.
He said: “All of the beautiful projects that you see that we have started, we are going to complete them. The new Massey Hospital is almost completed. The Opebi-Mende link Bridge will be commissioned before the end of the year.
“What is left is what I can call finishing touches. And you know, it’s not just the building that makes a hospital. You must equip it.
“That is where I feel that we really have a lot of work to do. But all I know is that by next year, that hospital will be commissioned. And it is not just the new Massey Hospital. Then the General Hospital in Ojo, that one too is going to be completed. Some of our food hubs are already completed and we will commission them very soon. Early next year, if not later this year, early next year, is going to be the biggest in sub-Saharan Africa.
“And to tell you the kind of excitement that we have over it, it is the kind of hub that can store food. Go for a visit, if there is famine in the land. It can feed like five million people at least for three months. And if there is so much food inflation, prices are going up. If you release some of the items that you have in the logistics, it can reduce prices. So it is a kind of facility that should excite all of us.
‘’So I am talking about some other projects like roads that we have started. All of them are going to be completed. I do not see anyone that may be so, so, so big that we won’t be able to complete.’’
The commissioner added that the second phase of the Blue Line Rail is still under construction, adding that the second phase of the red line too is ongoing and will be completed before Governor Sanwo-Olu leaves office.
