Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has urged landlords and property owners in the Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area to refrain from raising rents for houses and shops.
Sanwo-Olu made the appeal on Monday during the inauguration of the Abiola/Ajayi/Ogba and Obawole/Iju-Ishaga roads.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the 643-metre road project, which includes a bridge and slip roads, commenced on October 24, 2022.

The new infrastructure replaces a swampy area that previously had a wooden bridge, which was used for a fee.
The governor emphasized that the goal of the new development is to enhance residents’ quality of life, not to place additional financial strain on them.
“I want to appeal to landlords and landowners: do not increase your rents or land prices. The essence of this infrastructure is to bring relief to the people, not create further hardship.
“Please ensure the residents can enjoy the benefits after enduring years of environmental challenges. Kabiyesi, kindly ensure this bridge is not used as a dumping site.
“I remain committed to addressing longstanding community issues, including flooding and commute challenges,” Sanwo-Olu stated.
