Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode has commended the effort of the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi over a bridge and other projects which were recently commissioned.
Governor Ambode, who was represented by the State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr Olawale Olowu, commissioned the link bridge on Oduwaiye Street, Gbagada, traffic lights on a number of streets and a 600 capacity multilevel car park.
Reports have it that the projects were funded from the contributions of members of the Church nationwide.
Ambode commended the effort of the Church, stating that,
“What Deeper Life Church has done is epochal and keys into the overall drive of the State Government under the leadership of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode towards the renewal of infrastructure projects all over Lagos in line with the mega city ambition of the State. It is my considered view that if all other religious groups and private sector organizations in the state, provide similar support to the Government, a lot will be achieved and in a very short time in improving the quality of infrastructure in our Lagos,”
Pastor Kumuyi also acknowledged the efforts of the state government in terms of developments towards attain the full mega city status.
“The Lagos State Government under Governor Ambode has been tirelessly working towards renewing the mega city of Lagos and I must say that this has immensely endeared him to the teeming population. What we have done is only a token of support in the drive to ensure there is a collective contribution towards the collective aspiration of the people of this great State for a city of comfort that we all will be proud of,” he stated, adding that the Church still has a number of other projects either under construction or at planning stages, all geared towards improving the quality of life of the people in support of the urban renewal programme of the State Government”.
