Why was this project abandoned by the previous administration?

Lagos, an ordinary state in Nigeria with 20 million people and $2 billion budget can be like sovereign countries and a whole continent like Europe with $Trilions budgets?

No sense at all.

Lagos Blue Rail Line starts operation in 2021 as Governor @jidesanwoolu kicks off final work on project

Governor: ‘Four additional rail projects, eight bus corridors to start’

The integrated mass transportation initiative of the Lagos State Government has recorded a huge progress with the successful completion of an elevated sea-crossing track of the Lagos Blue Line Rail Mass Transit project.

Governor today led members of the State Executive Council to inspect the five-kilometre long Continuous Beam Bridge constructed from Iganmu to Marina, which is part of the fourth phase of the Blue Line Rail project.

Governor @jidesanwoolu said the completion of the sea-crossing track indicated his administration’s commitment towards completing the State-funded rail project started in 2009.

“The completion of this project is TOP priority for our administration, as it is critical to the achievement of our prioritised pillar of traffic management and transportation in our 6-point development agenda, known as project THEMES” - Gov @jidesanwoolu

“The aim of this rail project is basically to reduce travel time thru an effective & efficient intermodal transport system. It is also key to the building of a 21st century economy which is central to the vision of a Greater Lagos aspiration”

“We are committed to delivering this project next year and ensuring its operation starts in 2021.” - Governor @jidesanwoolu

The construction of the Blue Line rail tracks, Governor @jidesanwoolu noted, was being implemented in strict adherence to the State’s Strategic Transport Master Plan, which prescribes 6 rail lines & one monorail for the long-term strategic goals of the State.

Governor @jidesanwoolu disclosed that his administration would be starting the construction of the Red Line rail project from Agbado to Marina, pointing out that advertisement had been published in the media to woo investors for the construction of four other rail lines under a Design, Build, Operate, Maintain and Transfer model of Public-Private-Partnership arrangement.

According to the Governor @jidesanwoolu, the advertised rail projects include the 68-kilometre Green Line, 60-kilometre Purple Line, 34-kilometre Yellow Line and 48-kilometre Orange Line.

GREEN LINE: From Marina through Victoria Island, Lekki Phases 1 and 2, Ajah, Ogombo, Lekki Airport to Lekki Free Trade Zone.
PURPLE LINE: To start from the Redemption Camp going through Ogba, Iyana Ipaja, Igando and terminating at Ojo.
YELLOW LINE: From Otta through Isheri Osun, Ejigbo Mafoluku, Isolo to national Theatre.
ORANGE LINE: From Ikeja coursing through Mile 12, Ikorodu, Alapadi, Eligana, Isiwu, Imota and terminating at Agbowa.

“The Government will also start the construction of eight quality bus corridors in strategic areas of Lagos”

“These bus corridors is our government’s initiative aimed at giving dedicated road space and traffic signal priority to mass transit buses in order to reduce journey times and improve service consistency”

“The aim of the initiative is to encourage people to change from cars to buses and thus reducing traffic congestion”

“We are opening up new transport corridors to organised transport operators for seamless transport connectivity, reduce congestion and truly make our state competitive”

Governor @jidesanwoolu congratulated the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) and the contractor, China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) for the progress, urging them to complete the Blue Line rail project on record time.

Imagine if Sanwo-olu is able to pull off the successful construction of the other 4 rail lines routes. That would be massively massive

I am already seeing a greater Lagos under Sanwoolu/Hamzat

Very unfortunate that Ambode abandoned the project and we lost 4 years of progress.

What a disservice.

I keep telling folks that Nigeria is not a rich country. Our annual budget is 35 billion USD, whlle South Africa's is 125 billion USD. The oil income is not enough. We need to diversify.

Why was this project abandoned by the previous administration?

I think you guys are misinformed.

I passed through Marina during Ambodes administration... and I saw the Chinese folks work on those beams at the time.

What you should ask is why there is slow completion.

The project was never abandoned!

Moreover, AMBODE’S 4 years as Governor of Lagos was Amazing, infrastructure-wise.

As Governor, you can’t do everything.

His only Undoing was Tinubu.

sanwo olu, don't mind them, you are ON POINT!!!

Though to be fair to Ambode, he didnt entirely abandon the project but he was slow with it. But If he had committed and channeled the same energy and cash he was using to complete his Oshodi transport interchange to the rail project, it'd have long been completed. In fact, during his tenure, we heard no mention of the four other rail lines routes.

I hope we don't witness another Ambode era in Lagos. There was little or no spirit of continuity with his government.

No, his greatest undoing was deviating from the state's master plan and discontinuing some of the governance structure he met on ground.

Audio project, he can't kick start one out of the four, the current blue lane is still expected to reach badagry/seme borders, when will that comes to fruition?
