At Adeniji Adele, Sanwo-Olu said: “We have a firm conviction that these projects will positively impact the lives of residents. They will enhance safety and security, lead to the creation of new jobs and livelihood opportunities on Lagos Island.
“Also, it is expected that the regeneration projects will improve connectivity and drastically reduce the travel time of commuters.
