Lagos State governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, has said the state government will formally sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with investors for the construction of the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge before the end of May 2016.
Governor Ambode made the disclosure, on Thursday, while speaking at the First Quarter 2016 Town Hall Meeting, the third in the series, held at the Ikorodu Town Hall, Ikorodu.
This was just as he directed that security agencies, including the police, Task Force, LASTMA, among others, to start enforcing total ban on motorcycles, popularly known as okada, on Mile 12 and Ikorodu Road, in line with the people’s wish as demonstrated through affirmation by the people, during the Town Hall meeting.
The governor assured the residents that once the MoU was signed, work would begin on the 4th Mainland Bridge, which according to him, would go a long way to boost the economy of Lagos East Senatorial District.
“Many investors have shown interest in the actualisation of our dream for the 4th Mainland Bridge which will run from Ajah to Ikorodu to Isawo and berth at Ojodu, Ikeja back to the Ibadan expressway. By the grace of God, we will sign a MoU and commence action before May 29,” Governor Ambode said.
The governor stated that investors had equally shown interest in the redevelopment of the fish market to an International Fish Market and the redevelopment of inner roads in Epe and Ibeju-Lekki, explaining that the intention of his administration was to ensure that no part of the state was left undeveloped.
