The development also included renaming of several streets in honor of notable figures.

Outgoing Council Chairman Kolade Alabi David revealed that the renaming is aimed at honoring notable individuals who have enhanced Bariga’s reputation and positively impacted Nigeria’s global image through their work and contributions.

“As an administration, we took our time to reflect on a number of our people who have put the name of our local council out on the global map through their respective God-given talents and craft, as well as eminent personalities in our Nation and our beloved state and Local Council who have contributed immensely to the development of our Nation and our State. Today, we will be officially renaming streets in honour of the legacies,” he said.

The changes include renaming Ilaje Road to King Sunny Ade Road, after the veteran Juju musician.

Bariga Road has been renamed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way while Community Road in Akoka is now known as Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu Road.

Other changes include renaming Ajidagan Street to Olamide Adedeji (Badoo) Street, after the award-winning rapper and singer who hails from Bariga.

Ifeanyi Street is now Abolore Akande (9ice) Street while Ayodele Street in Ladi-Lak has been renamed Tony Tetuila Street.

Additionally, Ilojo Crescent in Obanikoro is now known as Bukayo Saka Street.

The changes come just weeks after Ajeromi-Ifelodun LGA also renamed 24 streets in its jurisdiction.
