President Buhari inaugurated the Ikeja Bus Terminal which is
expected to commute more than 100,000 residents across 23 bus routes in the
state.
He later proceeded to the venue of the colloquium organised
to mark the 66th Birthday of the National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in Victoria Island axis of the state.
During his two-day visit to Lagos, the President is expected
to inspect the ongoing construction works at the Eko Atlantic City, Victoria
Island.
Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo represented
President Buhari at the official flag-off ceremony for the construction of the
Lekki Deep Seaport project.
In an earlier statement, the state government explained that
the multi-purpose Lekki Deep Sea Port would be one of the most modern ports in
West Africa, offering enormous support to the growing commercial operation
across Nigeria and the entire sub-region.
The Eko Atlantic City Project, a planned city being
constructed on land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean, is also projected to
accommodate at least 250,000 residents and a daily flow of 150,000 commuters.
The government is optimistic that the development would have
a positive impact on the environment, as it would help in stopping the erosion
of the state’s coastline.
