By Olasunkanmi Akoni
Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is scheduled to flag off the iconic 1.4 kilometre Pen Cinema FlyOver Bridge, Agege, tomorrow, Friday, March 5, 2021.
Recall that the bridge was initially scheduled to be commissioned about last week but was rescheduled due to exigencies.
The Agege Pen Cinema Flyover project started in 2017 under the last administration of Akinwunmi Ambode.
Sanwo-Olu in line with his promise of completing all ongoing projects across the state visited the project site in January 2020 for assessment.
Sanwo-Olu again visited the project site in December 2020 to ensure that all was in order for its commissioning in the best possible time.
