Sanwo-Olu restates commitment to Lekki airport project

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to delivering the proposed Lekki International Airport and other landmark infrastructure projects across the state.
Mr Sanwo-Olu expressed the commitment in a statement signed by Gboyega Akosile, his media aide, on Saturday in Lagos.
The governor spoke during a guided tour and official visit to Alaro City and the Universal One Development along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Accompanied by members of the Lagos State Executive Council and top government officials, the governor revealed that regulators from the aviation industry would arrive in the state next week for a review and site inspection.
He said the inspection will pave the way for the commencement of construction on the Lekki International Airport, a project expected to drive future investments in the state.
During the two-hour tour, Mr Sanwo-Olu visited four companies within Alaro City—Ariel Foods, BUA, TY Danjuma Logistics Park, and Universal Homes—underscoring the government’s commitment to fostering economic growth and infrastructural development.
“As a government, we have put in place infrastructure to be able to receive investments in this corridor,” he said.
The governor also disclosed that work would soon begin on the Green Line Rail project, “which is from Marina to Lekki,” noting that the funding for the project was being put together.
“We thank all Lagosians for believing in our city and state. The Lekki-Epe Expressway will open and will continue opening up for investment into this part of the city.
“There is a plan for the Green Line Rail, which will eventually come to this neighbourhood.
“There are additional life-changing projects that are happening outside of what has happened in the last 10-15 years,” the governor said.
