The Lagos State government has reiterated its commitment to the renewed Ikeja Model City Master Plan originally conceived to address infrastructural challenges.
A statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, explained that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode plannd to make Ikeja a model city and actualise the relocation of the Computer Village to the new site at Katangowa in Agbado Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area, in line with the reviewed master plan.
The statement said the Ikeja Model City Master Plan designated the Computer Village for residential use, adding that the government will follow the plans to make the area more organised, serene and habitable.
It said the government had not issued any permit to any individual or organisation to build an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) specialised mall beside the new Ikeja Bus Terminal.
The government noted that such move is not in sync with the government’s regeneration plan for the capital city.
