Overview
The Lagos State Government has officially handed over Obalende Park to MTN Nigeria for redevelopment and beautification, as part of efforts to transform public spaces and tackle environmental challenges.
Speaking after the handover yesterday, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the initiative is aimed at converting underutilised spaces into functional and environmentally sustainable assets.
He disclosed that MTN Nigeria, under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, has adopted the park and will redesign it into a modern facility, while also maintaining the Macgregor Canal before, during, and after the project.
“We are here today to formally hand over the space. The essence is to clean, make it conducive and transform it into an environmentally sustainable space,” Wahab said.
