Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State on Wednesday joined fellow governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the commissioning of key infrastructure projects in Lagos State.
The projects, executed by the Lagos State Government under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, were inaugurated by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Among the projects commissioned are the Opebi-Mende-Ojota Link Bridge and the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administrative Complex located in Alausa.
Speaking after the event, Governor Diri described his participation as part of preparations for the forthcoming visit of President Tinubu to Bayelsa State, where four major projects undertaken by his administration are scheduled for inauguration.
The projects include a 60-megawatt independent power plant powered by gas turbines at Elebele, the 630-metre Angiama-Oporoma Bridge in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, the dualised Road One in the New Yenagoa City linking the Airport Road, and the 42-kilometre Sagbama-Ekeremor Road.
Governor Diri noted that all projects have been completed and are ready for commissioning, expressing optimism that they would significantly boost infrastructure development and economic activities in the state.
He also called on residents of Bayelsa State to come out en masse to welcome the President and other dignitaries, urging them to extend the state’s renowned hospitality during the visit.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to delivering impactful projects aimed at improving the living standards of the people and driving sustainable development across the state.
