The Lagos State Government has commenced construction of the 670-metre Adebayo-Akinade Road in Igbogbo-Baiyeku Local Council Development Area.

The project was flagged off on behalf of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by his Special Adviser on Rural Development, Nurudeen Agbaje, on Wednesday.

Agbaje said the road project was part of the administration’s broader intervention in rural communities, noting that infrastructure development remained critical to reducing the pressure that drives rural residents towards urban centres.

He said the government’s approach was to use infrastructure to open up communities and create conditions for economic activities to thrive outside major urban centres.
