According to him, the bridge will open up Agege and enable other developments to spring up in the area when completed.
The former lawmaker said that the state government should continue on his commitment to repairing roads and build more schools in Agege and its environs.

On #ENDSARS protests, Adaranijo commended the youths’ peaceful conduct and both the state and federal government for handling the protest with maturity.
He said that, having articulated their demands that elicited responses and actions from the government on police brutality, the youth should ease the tension and end the protest.
On the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, Adaranijo urged the federal government to expedite actions on the project, saying the condition of the road has become an eye sore.
He suggested that since the road is beneficial to Lagos and Ogun residents, government of both states should put machineries in motion to rehabilitate the road.
