Lagos Lights Up Third Mainland Bridge
In line with the
ongoing statewide "Operation Light up Lagos" project, the Lagos State
Government has completed the illumination of the Third Mainland Bridge.
This Lagos initiative begins from the Ojodu Berger
section of the bridge
and covers the entire sections of the bridge. According to a statement
signed by Steve Ayorinde, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, the
Third Mainland Bridge constitutes an important segment of the road
network in the state, as such, the state Government cannot overlook its
importance as it also serves as a connecting point to the high brow
economic pot of the state.
He further
explained that the effort is to fulfill the 24/7 economy promised by the
State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode during his electioneering campaign
period. "The economy of Lagos has gone beyond the day driven
transactions, as such, the night economy component should be fully
developed. "Every businessman wants to invest in a safe and secured
environment. Once an investor is assured that the operating environment
is safe and secured; the assurance of more investment is guaranteed,"
Ayorinde said.
Other reason for
this project, the statement said, is geared towards promoting further
collaboration with the Federal Government, which is expected to go a
long way to cement a good working relationship as well as boost the
economy of the state and Nigeria. Some other areas that have been lit up
under this project include, Ikorodu to Lagos Island, Ikeja, Oshodi,
Victoria Island and Ikoyi, Eko Bridge, among others.
