The Member representing Badagry Constituency 1 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Solomon Saanu Bonu, has paid a working visit to the site of the Badagry Deep Seaport project, which kicked off on Friday.

In a Facebook post, Bonu said that he took out time to visit the starting point of the project in his indigenous community, Gbaji/Yeke.

The legislator said he used the opportunity to engage the youths and leaders of the community and seek their cooperation with the site engineers.

According to him, the seaport project is for the “better development of Badagry and Lagos State as a whole”.

In July, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said that the state government had obtained the Federal Government’s approval to commence the Badagry seaport project.

He further disclosed that the project would be completed in two years.

Sanwo-Olu had explained that when completed, the Badagry seaport would decongest the Apapa and Tin Can ports.
