President Muhammadu Buhari would proceed on a two-day visit to Lagos on Monday to commission five projects which included a multi-billion Naira Lekki Deep Sea Port, the 32-metric tonne per hour Lagos Rice Mill (adjudged as one of the largest in the world ) and the 18.75-kilometer six-lane rigid-pavement Eleko Junction to Epe Expressway and two others.
The Lagos state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, disclosed this Friday at a media briefing, which took place at Bagauda Kalto Press Centre, Alausa, Ikeja.
He listed others to include the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History and the iconic Lagos Blue Line Rail.
Omotoso said the visit, tagged “A Festival of Project Commissioning,” would be the President’s first official visit to Lagos state since Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, were inaugurated in May 2019.
He said, “I bring you greetings from Mr. Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who has asked us to be here this morning for one purpose – to inform you that President Muhammadu Buahri will be on a two-day working visit to our dear state. As you are well aware, this will be Mr. President’s first official visit to Lagos state since assumption of office by Governor Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Hamzat .
“Although Mr. Governor has hosted the President during some of his visits to Lagos, next week’s visit by President Muhammadu Buhari will be one with a difference. It is a visit where Mr. President will again see the beauty of Lagos and take the opportunity to see first-hand and commission the life changing and people-oriented projects undertaken by the Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu administration.
“Mr. President will also be commissioning a private sector project, MRS Lubricant factory in Apapa. To this end, we have tagged President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Lagos, A Festival of Project Commissioning.”
