Babajimi Benson, MHR, for the newly constructed Olunla-Asolo Road, officially commissioned on October 26, 2024. This road marks Benson’s 64th infrastructure project.
Located in Ikorodu West Local Council Development Area (LCDA) and equipped with streetlights, the Olunla-Asolo Road has significantly improved access for residents and business owners, enhancing connectivity, boosting local commerce, and addressing long-standing transportation challenges.
Dr. Agbaje praised Benson’s dedication to Ikorodu’s development, highlighting the positive impact of consistent infrastructure improvements on community well-being and economic growth.
“This achievement demonstrates Rep. Benson’s dedication to rural development and his commitment to uplifting the Ikorodu Division,” said Dr. Agbaje.
“The completion of the Olunla-Asolo Road will serve residents’ needs, strengthen economic activities, enhance safety, and ultimately improve the quality of life in the area.”
The Olunla-Asolo Road project spans a strategic route in the LCDA and includes new road markings, drainage systems, and solar-powered streetlights, ensuring safer and more convenient travel for motorists and pedestrians alike.
Dr. Agbaje’s commendation also highlighted the collaborative efforts between the Lagos State Government and its representatives, acknowledging the vital role of infrastructure projects in both rural and urban development.
“The project aligns with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s agenda of promoting sustainable growth through targeted investments in critical infrastructure,” he noted.
“Rep. Benson’s commitment to infrastructure continues to inspire confidence across the Ikorodu Division, marking yet another milestone in the pursuit of a more connected and prosperous Lagos,” Dr. Agbaje added.
