The Lagos State Government on Monday assured residents of smooth traffic flow during President Bola Tinubu’s two-day official visit to the state on April 8 and 9, during which he will commission several completed projects.
The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, gave the assurance during a press briefing outlining activities for the President’s visit.

He said the state is working closely with federal and state security and traffic agencies to ensure seamless movement, security, and minimal disruption to daily activities.
“We are working closely with federal and state agencies to ensure that all arrangements for the President’s visit are seamless, secure, and befitting of the occasion. Security, logistics, and traffic management plans are being carefully coordinated to minimize disruptions while ensuring the safety and comfort of all participants,” he said.
Omotoso urged residents to cooperate with authorities by adhering to traffic advisories and security guidelines that would be issued ahead of the visit.

He noted that Lagos remains Nigeria’s commercial hub and that the projects slated for commissioning reflect the administration’s investments in transportation, infrastructure, education, and public sector development.
According to him, President Tinubu is expected to inaugurate several key projects executed by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration, including the Ojota–Opebi Link Bridge, designed to ease traffic congestion across the metropolis.
Other projects include the Lagos State Geographic Information Service building, a multi-agency complex named after the President, a newly completed school complex, and the Mid-Level Agro Produce Hub in Abijo, Ibeju-Lekki.

“These projects have been carefully conceived and executed to address the needs of our growing population, ease mobility, stimulate economic activity, and enhance social welfare,” he said.
He added that the Tolu Schools Complex in Ajegunle comprises 36 public schools—31 secondary and five primary schools—situated on 11.73 hectares of land in the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area.
Omotoso said the redevelopment of the complex demonstrates the government’s people-oriented approach, noting that it serves about 20,000 pupils.

He explained that due to the soil condition, the new structures were built on 25-metre deep pile foundations to ensure structural stability.
Facilities at the complex include a standard football pitch with a running track, multipurpose sports courts, a fire service station, a health centre, perimeter fencing, water harvesting systems, biodigesters, and solar power installations.
He added that the project also includes dedicated facilities for persons living with disabilities, equipped with vertical lifts, as well as a vocational centre for skills acquisition in various trades.

Omotoso noted that the rehabilitation of the complex, originally established over four decades ago during the administration of former Governor Lateef Jakande, represents a major renewal of educational infrastructure in the state.
He expressed confidence that the upgraded facilities would significantly improve the quality of education in the community.
He further stated that the Lagos State Infrastructure Asset Management Agency (LASIAMA) would oversee the maintenance of the facilities to prevent deterioration.
