In a related development, Lagos State has secured a significant $1.3 billion investment for the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge. This achievement was made possible through collaborative efforts led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and involved partnerships with the African Export-Import Bank and Access Bank.
Governor Sanwo-Olu formalized this momentous agreement during the second Africaribbean Trade and Investment Forum 2023 in Georgetown, Guyana. He expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “It was a significant occasion in Guyana as we have secured a partnership with the African Export-Import Bank and Access Bank for a substantial $1.352 billion investment in Lagos.”
The investment is expected to support critical infrastructure projects, including the Fourth Mainland Bridge, the Omu Creek Project, and the second phase of the LRMT Blue Line from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko.
Governor Sanwo-Olu reiterated the government’s commitment to shaping a brighter future for Lagos and its residents, highlighting other initiatives such as the Lekki-Epe International Airport and the Lagos Food Systems and Logistics Hub in Epe, which are set to drive economic growth and create a lasting legacy for the future.
