APPARENTLY to reduce the perennial gridlock that characterises traffic in Ajah along the Lekki -Epe corridor, the Lagos State government has appointed a building and civil engineering firm, Messrs Hi-Tech Construction Limited for the construction of a four-lane overhead bridge and two roads in the area.
Similarly, the state has also selected four contractors to drive the relocation of Ikeja Computer Village to Katangowa, Agbado Oke-Odo in Alimosho Local Government Area (LGA); almost a decade after the idea was mooted. In the new initiative, the state is planning an Internet City and Business Park.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Wasiu Anifowoshe, a town planner told The Guardian that “The new concept is to make Computer village a satellite town; a city within the city, where there would be housing units, restaurant and other facilities that would make it the best place to transact business.”
