Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commended the European Investment Bank for its support towards the Omi Eko Project, describing the initiative as a major investment that will transform urban mobility and improve the quality of life for residents.
Sanwo-Olu spoke over the weekend when he received an EIB delegation led by its Vice President, Ambroise Fayolle, during a courtesy visit at Lagos House, Marina.
The governor said the project aligns with his administration’s THEMES+ agenda, particularly its Transportation and Traffic Management pillar, as part of efforts to develop an integrated transportation system combining road, rail, and water transport.
He said Lagos’ extensive waterways provide an opportunity to expand alternative transportation options, noting that about one-third of the state is covered by water.
