3rd Mainland Bridge Upgrade: Popular Prophet Lauds Developments

 

 

 

 

 

He gave the commendation at the international headquarters of his church,Genesis Global international situated at Duro Ishola street,off Dalemo Alakuko area of Lagos State on Friday 4th of April 2024. While addressing newsmen through his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, the mercurial seer and global televangelist praised the collaborative efforts of the Federal Government and Lagos State Nigeria,in giving the bridge a facelift and reinforcements.

 

It would be recalled that, the Federal Government and the Lagos State Governor,Baba Jide Sanwo-Olu, had announced the closure of the bridge at the beginning of this year,and had since commenced work. While explaining the timeline and workscope on the bridge, the Federal Government had said that,it was beyond just surface repairs. It disclosed that,the work would include replacing bad railings and installing of solar-powered lights and CCTV cameras.

 

Driving through the 3rd Mainland Bridge shortly after it was opened for vehicle and traffic operations on Thursday 4th of April, Prophet Oladele gave a ‘thumb-up’ for government’s prompt response and the successful rehabilitation and upgrade of the bridge.

 

Prophet Israel Oladele Genesis, who is an ardent supporter of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu joined the general masses during the last general election,to mobilize supports from his congregants and people within his community,in order to vote en masse for the emergence of Tinubu’s administration and Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu’s reelection.

 

While declaring his satisfaction with the work done, Prophet Oladele described the project,as another achievement aimed at moving the economy of the state forward and geared towards making life more comfortable for the people. He noted that the impact of the bridge is immeasurable,considering the stretch of kilometres it covers and the areas of Lagos it connects.

 

He therefore lauded the federal government and Lagos State Governor,for heavily investing in infrastructural developments across the country/state.

 

In his words,the well-loved prophet said “I am delighted to witness this epoch-making development. I am more than elated,to see another landmark achievement of President Tinubu and our dear Governor Sanwo-Olu in this state.

 

I can’t but really appreciate His Excellency and my Governor, for not relenting in their efforts at investing in infrastructural development, targeting the economy of the state.

 

Apart from this, he has done a lot in the past and I am sure this will not be the last.

 

So, he must be commended for completing this laudable third mainland bridge repairs and upgrades!

 

Now, apart from the fact that there will be less traffic around the axis,road users will have a pleasant experience driving on the bridge.

 

I believe in the government of President Tinubu and governor Sanwo-Olu. While I continue to pray for both to excel in all the projects they have promised to execute for the good people of Nigerians/Lagosians, I enjoin all and sundary,to support and pray everyday for this administration to succeed”

 

He however appealed to motorists not to overspeed on the road, to avoid accident;as he confirms that the road is smooth and good for driving.

 

The 3rd Mainland bridge, is also known as Ibrahim Babangida Boulevard. It is 11.8km long,and it is the most popular and the longest among the three bridges that connect Lagos Island and the Mainland.

 

Until 1996,the 3rd Mainland Bridge prides itself as the longest in Africa, before ‘6th October Bridge’ was completed in Cairo, Egypt.

In Search of Justice: Alhaja Enitanwa Muibat Lanre Shittu’s Plea for Recognition and Dignity

Published

on

In a world where the bonds of love and faith should transcend earthly judgments, Alhaja Enitanwa Muibat Lanre Shittu finds herself battling not only for justice but for the affirmation of her dignity and place within her late husband’s legacy.

Alhaja Enitanwa, the widow of renowned business mogul Lanre Shittu, faces an overwhelming injustice as she appeals a ruling by the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court. This court dismissed her case by claiming it lacked the jurisdiction to do so.

This judgment, for Alhaja Enitanwa, represents a painful contradiction. The Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court had been specially designated to hear cases rooted in Islamic law—a foundation of faith and tradition that defined her marriage to her beloved husband. How, then, can this same court deny its duty to preside over the case she brings forward, a case so deeply tied to her faith and rightful place within her family?

At the heart of her appeal is a plea for recognition, not only for herself but for every Muslim woman whose rights are meant to be upheld by the legal protections guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution. Her counsel, Barrister Kayode Ademiluyi, stresses that this Constitution embraces Sharia law as a personal and protected path for Muslims, enshrining the rights of individuals like Alhaja Enitanwa to have their marital bonds honored by the law.

The Customary Court Law of Lagos State further cements these rights. By law, designated courts are empowered to adjudicate in matters of Islamic law—marriage, divorce, and family bonds. Yet, for reasons unknown, the Ifako Ijaiye Customary Court has chosen to ignore this mandate, casting aside the deeply personal matter Alhaja Enitanwa brought to its doors.

She seeks more than validation; she seeks justice. For Alhaja Enitanwa, this appeal is an urgent call for the court to correct a decision that, in its oversight, has left her in limbo, questioning the very foundations of her marriage and her place within a family she holds dear.

Her appeal will journey through the Customary Court of Appeal, a court of immense authority, with the power to oversee customary law matters. Here, the court will have the solemn duty to interpret her case in the spirit of fairness, upholding the principles of religious and personal freedoms granted under Nigerian law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s case is not just about her suffering but about restoring the dignity of every Muslim woman who looks to the law to honour her faith and protect her rights.

Let us remember that at the heart of this case lies a woman—a mother, a widow—whose only desire is to protect the bond she shared with her late husband and to honour the life they built together under Islamic law. Alhaja Enitanwa’s struggle resonates far beyond her plight; it is a struggle for justice, for the rights of Muslim women, and for the values enshrined in the law.
