the project which is eighty percent completed before the end of his administration.

He thanked the residents for their cooperation and expressed satisfaction on the spate of works by the contractor on project which would enhance socio-economic, lifestyle and living standard of Lagosians, pledging that the state government would improve Independent Power Project in Akute to power the facility.
