Lagos Removes Oba Ogunji Statue For Construction Of Agege Flyover Bridge

The Lagos State Government has flagged off the construction of the Agege-Pen Cinema Bridge , with a promise to deliver it by December next year. Governor Akinwunmi Ambode , speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting with residents of Agege and environs on the construction of precast /pre -stressed concrete dual carriage flyover and ramp at Pen Cinema Junction
, said the flyover , when completed, would be equivalent to both the Ajah and Abule - Egba bridges.

The governor , therefore , sought the support and understanding of the residents with the government and the contractor to make the project a reality and delivered on time . According to the governor , to minimise the inconvenience to road users that ply this route during the construction stage of the flyover , alternative routes for traffic diversion were identified after a thorough reconnaissance survey, with a view to serve as bypass from the construction zone , as well as ensure seamless flow of traffic while the construction activities are ongoing within this corridor .

“ The diversion will no doubt assist Iju , Oba Ogunji Roads and beyond bound motorists without going through traffic rigours. “ The need to collectively resolve the perennial traffic gridlock at Pen - Cinema and its environs is a task that must be done by all .

The Lagos state government has removed the popular statue of late Olu of Agege kingdom, Oba Ogunji to pave the way for Agege Pencinema flyover bridge. It was learned that the statute removal was done by the men of Lagos state public works commission.
