The general manager reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to providing a world-class living environment for the residents.
Shomade, who is a town planner, said that the state government had a vision of providing a world-class environment that would attract tourists from all over the world to the community.
"Our vision is to develop a world-class environment for Isale Akoka Community, such as houses on the water as seen in Cape Verde, that will attract tourists from all over the world.
"It is a long-term project that will be beneficial to the community and an achievement to the state government.
"The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has kicked-started the process by graciously approving the construction of roads for accessibility as can be seen on Oremeji Street, Alhaji Yinusa Street and Ajayi Olaiya Street," she said.
