 As part of measures to extend development across Lagos and grow the economy of the state through a robust infrastructure portfolio, the Lagos State Government has commissioned a multi-purpose carpark and building at Oniko. The governor stated that the edifice will not only speak to all traffic issues but also ensure an ambience needed in the area. Plus, TV Africa Lagos State House correspondent Love Ikukua Yedeku was there and now reports. Reconstruction began in June 2013, during the tenure of now-Minister of Works and Housing Babatudi Fashula, then-Governor of Lagos State. He is now completed and commissioned by Governor Babatudi Sawonlu, an affirmation and attestation to his Result Ranger, completion of all inherited projects that fits into his film's agenda. Governor Sawonlu is convinced that with the commissioning of the multi-purpose Onikon carpark and facility building, traffic gridlock would become history in that area. This multi-level carpark will speak to all of the traffic issues and all of the social integration that needs to happen around there, and so that you can see that this is well conceived, is well thought out, and it will help and reduce all of the gridlocks that usually happen around this place. This edifice that has over 384 parking lots, that has seating capacity for over 1400 will ensure that not only is free flow of traffic, but will also ensure that there can be an ambience that is needed in this entire neighborhood. Special advisor to Sawonlu on Works and Infrastructure, engineer Aramidi Adiyui, said the edifice would extend development across Lagos and grow the economy of the state. In a city such as Lagos, scarcity of land is an issue, hence a multi-storey carpark which utilizes particular space, provides an ideal solution to overcome horizontal space constraints and regulate better traffic flow. In deciding to do this, we also realize that this facility building is significantly important because of its large size parking capacity, income generation potential, and its location strategically within the heart of Onikon. Its judicious use will no doubt help absorb vehicles that would have otherwise parked on the roadside and other illegal parking spaces along the corridor. She also highlighted the scope of works for the project. Five levels of parking floors with a capacity of 384 vehicles with offices for tickets and restrooms on each floor. The sixth floor is designated as multi-purpose mixed use consisting of a club house of about four and ten square meters capacity. This provides additional recreation facility for this area that has both Island Club and the Uyber Tennis Club at close proximity. Engineer Adiyui's stronger beliefs and other revenue for job opportunities has just been created with the commissioning of the facility, providing an aesthetically pleasing environment and more reportedly complimenting the state's efforts around tourism infrastructure within the precinct of Onikon.
