Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has appealed to landlords in Lagos State not to increase rents for residents.
Mr Sanwo-Olu made the appeal on Monday at the inauguration of the Abiola/Ajayi/Ogba and Obawole-Iju-Ishaga roads. The 643-metre road construction began on October 24, 2022.
The 643-metre road, including a bridge with slip roads, provides a strategic connection linking a swamp belt, and some people constructed a wooden bridge for people to cross for a fee.
Sanwo-Olu further extended the plea to land owners urging them not to make life more difficult for Lagosians by increasing price for lands.
He said his administration’s focus was to ensure the citizens’ quality of life through meaningful projects.
“I want to make an appeal to landlords and landowners: do not increase your rents and land; the essence of the infrastructure built is to bring relief to the people and not burden residents.
“Please do not increase property prices to enable the residents to enjoy the benefits of putting up with years of poor environment. Kabiyesi, please, this bridge is not meant for dropping trash.
“I am committed to addressing longstanding problems of communities, including flooding and commuting,” Mr Sanwo-Olu added.
