Lagos State Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment Mrs. Yetunde Arobieke has hailed the contractor handling the building of the Lagos Leather Hub, considered to be the largest in Nigeria when completed.
The project is sited on an acre at Ladipo Spare Part Market, Mushin, Lagos.
The commissioner, in company with other senior officials, praised the work done so far by the contractor, hoping that the work would be finished on schedule, especially with what she and her entourage saw on ground during their visit.
She said the ministry had a one-on-one engagement with the contractors during which she expressed her pleasure about the progress of the work on the project.
Arobike said: “We have come on an inspection of this massive construction site of the leather hub. The level of work on this project is satisfactory. I have no doubt that we will meet the completion date as fixed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in two months’ time.”
The Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olujimi Ige, said the project would be completed in time.
The contractor, Bolaji Adebajo, an engineer, said: “It has not been easy, we have to live up to the deadline given by the governor. We have been working night and day, trying to deliver the project. I assure Lagosians that the work will be delivered at the end of June.”
