To address flooding on Lagos Island, plans are underway to construct a 1.2km diversion in front of Ilubirin Housing Estate.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced this yesterday after inspecting ongoing construction projects on Lagos Island.
He stated that three high-capacity pumps for the project, which would take water into the lagoon, would be delivered next month.
Oniru also supports Sanwo-Olu for a second term.
“This means that the flood on Lagos Island can be dealt with.” “Once this is completed, we will be able to address the issue of collectors in Odogiwa and elsewhere,” the governor said.
The New Massey Children’s Hospital, Tapa/Oke-Popo/Adeniji Adele Road, and Lagos Island General Hospital, Odan were also visited as part of the project.
Sanwo-Olu stated that the road construction was 65% complete, and that the contractor had promised to complete the project by December.
He stated that the general hospital is being renovated to ensure that people continue to receive quality health care.
“Lagos Island General Hospital is the premier general hospital in the state,” said the governor. It is a secondary health center. It dates back to the founding of Lagos.”
