On Wednesday, Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu inaugurated 420 newly built housing units in the Badagry Division, naming the estate after the late Akinsanya Sunny Ajose.
Now called the Akinsanya Sunny Ajose Housing Estate in Ajara, Badagry, the complex serves as a tribute to the late statesman, a notable figure from Badagry who previously served as Head of Service for Lagos State, Special Adviser in the Governor’s Office, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and part of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC). He passed away shortly before his 79th birthday on February 4, 2025.
