A big thank you to the Governor of Ekiti state, H.E Biodun Oyebanji, who joined me today in the commissioning.

This bridge links Murtala Muhammed Way to Apapa Road, offering access to Costain, Iganmu Industrial Area, Lagos Badagry Expressway, Herbert Macaulay Way, Third Mainland Bridge, Otto, Carter Bridge, and Ijora.

Not only does the Oyingbo Bridge improve traffic flow, but it also enhances safety by separating vehicular/pedestrian traffic from rail traffic, reducing accidents at railway level crossings.

From infrastructure to education, we’re determined to keep Lagos moving forward, and these projects commissioned are just the beginning.

Your support and patience are greatly appreciated.
