Stakeholders in Ikorodu have urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State to actualise the Fourth Mainland Bridge.
Prince Lanre Balogun, a former Lagos State Commissioner for Rural Development, urged the governor to build the bridge and other uncompleted roads before the expiration of his tenure.
He said, “The Fourth Mainland Bridge which he promised he would deliver; as we speak, they have finished the paper work/master plan and secured partners.
“The Isawo Road is under construction, Igbogbo Baiyeku and Offin-Oreta roads all need attention. We urge the governor to call on the contractors to go back to site.”
He noted that, “Infrastructural development is for those living, anything given now is for those alive. I urge people in authority to take note and intervene immediately.” Also, Chief Kayode Olomo, the Baale of Ojogbe in Ikorodu, said that Sanwo-Olu started well with Ikorodu but that he needed to do more.

He said, “For example, he gave us two commissioners during his first term. But we want him to replace the commissioner he removed with an indigene.
“The Gberigbe axis also needs the intervention of the government.”
On her part, Princes Adebukola Osho, the Iyaloja of Ikorodu Central, said Sanwo-Olu did well in his first term, adding that she believed he would do better in the second term.
She urged residents and political leaders to mediate and lobby on areas that needed attention, saying this was necessary because the areas needing the attention of the government must be identified to attract intervention. (NAN)
