Lagos State Gov. Plans To Make Ebute-Metta A Tourist Haven.
The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode plans to transform Ebute-Meta into a tourist haven by establishing a recreation park on the stretch of land overlooking the lagoon, adjacent to the Adekunle axis of the Third Mainland Bridge.
The Governor, who said this during the commissioning of Ikotun-Ejigbo and Ipaja-Ayobo Roads as well as an inspection tour of on-going projects across the State, lamented the state of the piece of land which he described as an eye sore from the bridge.
He therefore, gave the auto mechanics working under the bridge seven days to vacate the new site and remove all abandoned vehicles for the development project to commence in earnest.
He said all things being equal, the project would be completed before the end of May in 2016 when Lagos State would be 50 years-old.
The Lagos State Governor, who expressed dissatisfaction about the refusal of the mechanics to vacate the site despite repeated notice, said it was important for them to appreciate that the land was needed for overall public interest of the State.
He also ordered traders in the area to move to the special site prepared for them in Agbowa by January 2016.
