The desire of the Lagos state government of Nigeria to reconstruct and signpost the nation’s foremost international airport road has become a reality as the Federal government has finally acceded to the state’s request.
The Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, granted Lagos State Government the permission to embark on a total reconstruction of the International Airport Road from Oshodi.
In a statement issued Wednesday by the secretary to the state Government, Tunji Bello, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, disclosed that the state has finally received the approval to take over the reconstruction of the road to a world class gateway.
The statement also indicated that the approval was a 50th birthday gift to Lagos state.
The journey to getting this approval has been long, spanning three administrations of the state and culminating in the disagreement between the state and the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing celebrated by the media recently, to the Acting President’s formal nod.
