“Ajidagan Street will now be called Olamide Adedeji Baddo Street. That means Charly Boy bus stop will now be called Baddo Bus-Stop, no more Charly Boy,” he said.
The bus stop was formerly named in honour of eccentric entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy.
The LCDA also honoured music legends by renaming Ilaje Road after juju icon Sunny Ade, and Ifeanyi Street after ‘Gongo Aso’ hitmaker, 9ice.
Others include the renaming of Community Road Akoka to Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road, Bariga Road to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Road, and Ayodele Street to Tony Tetuila Street.
