The Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos State has renamed several prominent roads and streets to honor influential figures in Nigeria’s political, entertainment, and sports scenes.

As reported by TheGazelleNews, the outgoing Chairman of the council, Kolade David Alabi, announced the changes on Friday, July 25, 2025 — his final day in office. The announcement coincided with the commissioning of major projects completed under his administration, an event attended by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
