12 December 2019

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has revealed that the state government plans for the construction of the fourth mainland bridge, saying his administration will make use of private equity to achieve the project.

The governor, who made the revelation while fielding questions on Channels Television Sunrise Daily programme, said: "Two weeks ago, we advertised the fourth mainland bridge project locally and internationally. Our total budget for next year is about $3 billion, and that's the highest in the country. The fourth mainland bridge, from the design we have seen, is a 37 kilometre bridge. We cannot handle it alone, so we are going to use private equity. We have advertised, and we have the alignment; we have the right of way and all of the biometric study. Let everyone come and play a role."
