Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday said his administration would complete major projects this year.
He spoke at a special hybrid New Year thanksgiving service at the Football Pitch of Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja.
The governor said some of the projects would be commissioned this month.
A statement by the spokesman Gboyega Akosile quoted the governor as saying: “From this month, Lagosians are going to see renewed efforts that have been put into uplifting their welfare and living standards.
“Over the next few months, we have 377 projects slated for commissioning in various sectors across the state, all embarked upon to positively impact the lives of every resident of Lagos State.”
He listed some of the projects to include: 52- tonne per hour Imota Rice Mill in Ikorodu; Pen Cinema Junction Flyover and Ramp in Agege; Glover Memorial Hall in Marina; Ariyo (Mile 10) Ira–Muwo Bridge Phase I road in Ojo and the remodelled Youth Center in Abesan, Ipaja.
Others are: Lagos State Affordable Public Housing Scheme in Idale, Badagry, comprising 252 units of 2-bedroom bungalows; the LagosHOMS Housing Project in Iponri, comprising 132 housing units; the LagosHOMS Housing Project in Lekki Phase II, comprising 84 housing units and the LagosHOMS Housing Project Phase IIB in Igbogbo, comprising 84 housing units, among others.
The governor, who recently signed the 2021 Lagos State Appropriation Bill into law, said it was gratifying to note that the budget was now ready for implementation.
Sanwo-Olu urged residents to continue to adhere strictly to COVID-19 protocols, expressing optimism that the virus would be put behind soon.
He praised religious leaders for their prayers and support for the peace, progress and prosperity of the state.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, admonished people to imbibe the attitude of thanking God in all situations.
Represented by Pastor J.T Kalejaiye, he said it was important to always praise God for His blessings and mercies.
The cleric said: “Let gratitude be your attitude because an attitude of gratitude takes one to a higher altitude.
“Very few people love to give thanks. When we pray, we get God informed. However, when we give thanks, we get God involved.”
Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat; his wife, Oluremi; First Lady Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; Chief of Staff Mr Tayo Ayinde; Chief Judge of Lagos Justice Kazeem Alogba, were at the event, among others.
