Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday led members of the Lagos State Executive Council on an inspection tour of two major government projects in Alausa — the Multi-Agency Office Complex and the new Lagos Geographic Information Service (LAGIS) building — both aimed at improving public service delivery in the state.
The projects are located within the Central Business District in Alausa, close to the Lagos State Secretariat, and are part of the administration’s efforts to modernise government infrastructure and streamline operations among key agencies.
Speaking after the inspection, Sanwo-Olu said the Multi-Agency Office Complex was nearing completion, with only finishing touches left around the ground floor and surrounding setbacks. He expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work carried out by the contractor.
The governor disclosed that the complex is expected to be commissioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during a planned presidential visit to Lagos on a date yet to be announced.
“The Multi-Agency Complex is practically completed; all that is left is finishing work around the setbacks and the ground completion,” Sanwo-Olu said. “I am impressed with the level of work the contractor has achieved. In another two weeks, we expect the contractor to carry out a thorough cleanup of the complex in preparation for commissioning.”
The multi-storey office development is designed to centralise operations of key government agencies and reduce congestion at the state secretariat. The facility will include office spaces, relaxation areas, advanced safety infrastructure, and a multi-level car park with capacity for more than 600 vehicles.
Sanwo-Olu also inspected the LAGIS building, a five-floor purpose-built facility aimed at providing a one-stop centre for services related to geospatial mapping, urban planning and land administration in Lagos.
He described the project as another “unique masterpiece” but noted that work on the LAGIS building would need to accelerate in the coming weeks to meet completion targets.
“The LAGIS building meets our requirements in spatial and geographic information system deliverables, which are meant to be part of our solutions to land administration in Lagos,” the governor said. “However, construction work needs to advance quickly in the next three weeks to reach completion stage.”
Sanwo-Olu added that both facilities would significantly improve the working environment for civil servants and ultimately enhance service delivery to residents.
“The space in which services are being rendered is critical to us as a government. That is why we are creating a better working environment for our staff,” he said, noting that improved facilities would translate to faster and more efficient services for citizens.
