Reconstructed Adeniji Adele Road in Lagos Island
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has revealed why Julius Berger Nigeria Plc is awarded technically challenging contractual projects in the country.
Sanwo-Olu said construction tasks are better handled by a versatile, capable, and experienced engineering construction company like Julius Berger whose records of works in the Lagos Island terrain historically, operationally date back to the 1960s.
The governor said this while commissioning the Adeniji Adele Road in the Lagos Island area of Lagos State.
He said the people needed a strategic road that transverse the area which is a key artery, adding that Adeniji Adele Road is a central part of the northern part of the Local Government Area from where the extensive regeneration of Lagos Island started.
“Lagos Island is one of the oldest settlements in Lagos. Two years ago we did the groundbreaking of this project. Today we are commissioning it.

“The Greater Lagos Rising Programme may involve vast difficult terrains like this; it may involve similar challenges elsewhere; but we are not relenting in giving only the best to Lagos. That is why Julius Berger which is the best construction company in the country is handling such tasking projects,” Sanwo-Olu was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the company and made available to The Star on Thursday, June 1.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Dr Las Richter, said it was worthy of note that the commissioning was done in the twilight of the first term of Governor Sanwo-Olu in the state, adding: “Today we are not only commissioning, but we are celebrating the success story of the governor for this and other numerous projects he has so far delivered to the good people of Lagos State.”
Other officials of the Lagos State government at the event included the Special Adviser, Works and Infrastructure, Engr Aramide Adeyoye; Permanent Secretary, Office of Infrastructure, Engr Daramola Olufemi Olubunmi; and Director of Projects, Engr Tokunbo Ajanaku; among others.
