Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged landlords and property owners not to raise rents and property prices following the launch of critical infrastructure projects in the Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area.
On Monday, Sanwo-Olu highlighted that the Abiola-Ajayi-Ogba and Obawole-Iju-Ishaga road projects are intended to relieve communities, not add to their burdens.
“I appeal to landlords and landowners: do not increase your rents and property prices. The essence of the infrastructure built is to bring relief to the people and not burden residents,” he stated.
The recently built 643-meter road, which includes a bridge and slip lanes, links places that were previously only reachable by improvised wooden bridges that required a fee to pass.
“I am committed to addressing the long-standing problems of communities, including flooding and commuting. These projects symbolise our dedication to improving Lagosians’ daily lives,” Sanwo-Olu added.
