“As of September 2025, performance stood at about 79 percent.

The commissioner highlighted the administration’s community-driven approach to development, particularly through partnerships with local governments in road construction, school rehabilitation, and housing initiatives.
“People are now proud to live in areas like Badagry, Ikorodu, and Igbogbo,” he said.
“One of our best housing estates is in Igbogbo. We’ve also built over 15 jetties serving local communities. Today, you can travel from Ikorodu to Lagos Island in less than 30 minutes because of the state government’s investments in water transport.”
