President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday inaugurated the reconstructed Lagos Governors’ Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, and commended Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for delivering the project.
Tinubu, who was represented at the event by the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, urged government officials to ensure proper maintenance of public infrastructure and make projects serve the needs of future generations.
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the previous building had served the state for decades but could no longer meet its needs.
He said the reconstructed lodge would provide accommodation and a suitable venue for government meetings and engagements with federal officials, diplomats and investors.
Sanwo-Olu commended Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for completing the project within the expected time.
“We gave the work to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. We asked for a building that will serve Lagos for generations and we asked them to do it very quickly. And here today they’ve given us both,” he said.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Tayo Akinmade Ayinde, also praised the company for delivering the project to specification.
Earlier, the company’s Managing Director, Engr. Dr Peer Lubasch, said the facility covered about 2,700 square metres and comprised a main residence, a guest house and a utility building.
Former Lagos governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode attended the inauguration alongside lawmakers, traditional rulers, government officials and business leaders.
