Lagos LG chair to rename Liverpool Road in Oshodi-Isolo after Tinubu’s son
The Oshodi-Isolo Local Government chairman, Kehinde Oloyede, has announced that plans are underway to rename the newly constructed Liverpool Road after Seyi Tinubu.
“All is now set for the renaming of Liverpool Road in Oshodi-Isolo Local Government after the son of Nigeria’s President, Amb. Seyi Tinubu,” said Mr Oloyede in a statement shared on the LG’s X handle by his media team on Monday.
The statement noted that the road, which is strategic to Oshodi and one of the major roads linking Oshodi/Apapa Expressway and connecting the international airport, “would soon be commissioned and renamed in Seyi Tinubu’s honour at a date to be announced.”
The council chairman said the decision to rename the road after Mr Tinubu was “borne out of his immense contributions to youth and community development.”
He claimed that the road used to be an abode for touts and criminals armed with dangerous weapons and fomenting trouble within the council area.
“The road was a lion’s den, as no one could dare pass it either during the day or at night,” he said.
He, however, noted that upon his assumption of office, the criminal elements who had been using the road as a hideout before its reconstruction were all chased away.
