Oyogist has learned that the Lagos state government alongside Governor of Ogun state, Dapo Abiodun has signed an agreement to set up a joint development commission.
The agreement for the commission was signed in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Gov. Sanwo-Olu said the memorandum signed between both states will transform the urban areas that represent border communities between the states.
“We are driven to stimulate a socioeconomic growth to bridge the development gap and to ensure that while Lagos State remains a megacity, Ogun State can indeed help to transform that and create another megacity in our region,” Sanwo-Olu said.
“Regardless of the challenges, we are a more liveable and peaceful city – Our goal is to build a sustainable urban city where the residents of Lagos and Ogun have a sense of belonging and embrace participating in issues around governance and recognise their roles in achieving a solid urban economic growth for the two states.” he said.
