The Lagos State Government has approved the commencement of the multi-million naira development project in Odo-Ogun community.
This was made known by the Commissioner for Water Front and Infrastructural Development, Kabir Ahmed, when he visited the site during the week.
The project, proposed by a Chinese Investor, Jin Anping, in 2019, has caught the attention of the state government and would be supported accordingly, says Ahmed.
Marking the starting and ending points of the site during the inspection, the commissioner revealed that work will commence on the development plan as soon as possible following approval from the state government.
“The Lagos State Government has reviewed the project plan and considered it a veritable project for the growth and development of the community and state at large.

The community’s lawyer, Mr. S.O.K Shillings, added that the visitation of the commissioner to the site marks the cooperation between the Lagos State government and the Chinese investor on the project.
