A new community recreational park has been commissioned by IHS Nigeria in Omole Estate Phase 1, Lagos, delivered within a four-month timeline through collaboration with the Omole Estate Executive Committee, the Lagos State Government representatives, and the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK).

The Head of Partnerships for LASPARK) Ms Temitope Okumuyide, said the project aligns with the agency’s mandate to promote healthy and safe environments across Lagos State.

“This park contributes to creating functional and enjoyable green spaces for the citizens of Lagos,” she said, thanking IHS Nigeria for helping in promoting a greener environment across the metropolis.

The chairman of Omole Phase 1 Residents Association, Ms Abimbola Osikoya, expressed gratitude for IHS Nigeria’s generous donation.

“In a city as dynamic as Lagos, spaces like this are essential. This park will serve as a place for relaxation, family bonding, healthy living, and neighborly interaction. The measure of a society is how it cares for its people, and IHS has demonstrated this through meaningful community investment,” she said.

Also, the chairman of the Titilayo Adedoyin Community Development Association, Mr Segun Fayemi, described the park as a landmark achievement, adding, “Out of the 18 sectors in this area, only mine has such a facility. I am the happiest man today.”

During the commissioning of the project, the Director of Sustainability for IHS Nigeria, Ms Titilope Oguntuga, described the project as more than infrastructure, highlighting the social and human value of shared public spaces.

“At IHS Nigeria, we believe infrastructure goes beyond connectivity and technology. It is about people and the environments in which they live, work, and thrive. Recreational and green spaces are critical to promoting well-being, inclusion, and stronger communities,” she said.

She noted that the presence of the IHS team at the event reflected the company’s dedication to the project and the host community, adding that, “The turnout today also shows our commitment and excitement to witness the commissioning of this park.”
