The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has promised citizens that in the various sectors of the state, 2022 will witness remarkable development.
Sanwo-Olu made this declaration on Sunday while giving his New Year message at the 2022 annual thanksgiving service, themed, ‘Songs of Thanksgiving,’ at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja.
“This New Year 2022 is a special year for us as an administrator because it will be the final full year of the four-year mandate you gave us in 2019.
“It will therefore be ‘a Season of Consolidation,’ year in which we hope to complete all ongoing projects and significantly advance our journey towards the ‘Greater Lagos’ of our collective desire.
“By the special grace of God, the vision of having the largest rice mill in sub-Saharan Africa and one of the largest in the world will become a reality this year.
“Also, this year 2022 will witness a milestone achievement in the rail transportation system in our state, as we expect the 37km Red and 27.5km Blue Line rail projects to commence commercial operations between the last quarter of this year and the first quarter of 2023.
“These are just a handful of the projects that will be completed or advanced this year. Indeed, 2022 will witness remarkable development on various fronts: infrastructure, technology, health and education, security, and many more; all of which will translate to a significant improvement in the quality of life of all Lagosians,” he said.
