Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has assured residents that the ongoing construction of the General Hospital in Ojo town will be completed by December 2025.
The Governor issued a 12-month deadline to the project’s contractor on Tuesday while leading an on-the-spot assessment of the site to evaluate progress.
During the visit, Sanwo-Olu also flagged off the construction of a 27-block shopping complex along LASU-Iyana Iba Road.
Situated on 6.5 hectares along the Lagos-Badagry corridor, the Ojo General Hospital is a 280-bed multi-specialist facility being developed by the Sanwo-Olu administration to enhance healthcare services in the Lagos West Senatorial District.
Upon completion, it will be the district’s largest healthcare facility, complementing existing primary and secondary healthcare centers in the area.
The hospital’s strategic location places it near the Ojo military cantonment, Lagos State University, and the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (BLUE LINE).
Sanwo-Olu emphasized that the hospital’s development was aimed at addressing inadequate medical facilities in the region and providing residents with improved healthcare access.
“We have just taken a tour to see the construction work being carried out on this hospital project,” he said, reaffirming that the hospital would be part of the broader infrastructural transformation his administration is driving in the Ojo area.
