🎥 *VIDEO: CHAIRMAN ADEDEJI ILLUMINATES SHOGBAMU STREET (ORITA FOGO)*

The Executive Chairman of Bariga Local Council, *Hon. Adedeji Bukola Omope, FCPA*, has successfully illuminated Shogbamu Street, popularly known as Orita Fogo, with the installation of solar-powered streetlights under the Operation Light Up Bariga Initiative.

This milestone project forms part of the second phase of the initiative. The first phase saw several streets and previously dark spots across Bariga lit up to significantly improving visibility and safety within the community.

Shogbamu Street is one of the most strategic roads in Bariga, serving as a vital link between Bariga and Kosofe Local Government. The road connects residents to Oworonshoki, provides access to the Third Mainland Bridge, and extends to Ifako/Soluyi and surrounding areas. It also leads to key commercial hubs, including the popular Bariga markets.

The illumination of Shogbamu Street is expected to boost nighttime commercial activities, strengthen security and public safety and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the environment.

This project is one of several people-centered initiatives being implemented by the Executive Chairman to improve the standard of living and overall well-being of residents in Bariga.
