Ebot, you are using more than 20yrs to build railway, when other Smaller economy are upgrading to electric trains

Tanzania's Works and Transport ministry last year signed an agreement with South Korea's Hyundai Rotem to deliver 42 electric trains. The trains cruise at a speed of 160 km/h and are running parallel to the old rail.

Intact Lagos started theirs long before Ethiopia that used 4yrs to complete their heavy rail project,

If you are going to compare, do so with facts detailing the similarities that justified the comparisons, list the similar lines like Lagos's Red and Blue line, the rail and the number of rail stations, show us how Ethiopia built Metro Rail bridge like the one over the Lagos lagoon and so on.

You are comparing Lagos, a state within Nigeria with other countries and sovereign nations and sovereign funds. Makes no sense.

You people need to stop with these ignorant and illogical comparisons.

This same project is one of the conduit pipes EscoBAT has been using to siphon Lagos money endlessly. Lagos State started building this so-called light rail before Addis Ababa, yet that Ethiopian city have long completed theirs at less than 10% of what has been spent in Lagos.

The wickedness of BAT knows no bounds. This same grandmaster of corruption who has been sitting on the neck of Lagosians now want to sit on the neck of Nigeria too.

God forbid BAT thing!

To show you the sadists from the Sad East we have on Nairaland are the dregs of society and irredeemable scum, check out the YouTube video of impressive work and development of the Lagos Rail mass transit scheme.

Just go to the comment section. Over 100 comments all very positive, patriotic and really praising the efforts of Lagos State. It shows you that the IPOBians who congregate here are the worst, most hateful, most tribalist and most vile. They are pathetic losers.

Something that Jakande started in 1983 before Bubu cancelled it the following year?
Do you have a none blablabla answer

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.

Addis Ababa / Lagos
Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion
Length == 34km / 27km
Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected)
Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010)
Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC)
Population == 5Million / 20Million


Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.

Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.

Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.

The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.

The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan.
The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.

The project just like others is pure rip off on the resources of Lagos State. How did we get to this despicable status. All political leaders will surely account for their massive looting. We came here empty and we go back empty!

Continue wailing, that project has been going on since 10years back, yet no conclusion, all they do is to loot money using the project as a cover up. Beside, with the revenue Lagos is getting yearly, the state is meant to be competiting with Dubai.

There is a humongous fraud that the light rail was used to perpetrate. I may be wrong but the contract was inflated as compared to another country that used the same company to build a heavy rail that is longer than ours. I also heard that the rail built in Lagos was shorter than what was in contract.

Ok sir.

How many rail lines have been built in your homestead?

After all, Tinubu isn't responsible for anything there.

It beats me to understand the thinking that all the infrastructures like rails,seaports and other development happening in Lagos is been attributed not to the present governor but someone that finished his tenure over fifteen years ago

Please why is that so,is Tinubu the only man that has governed Lagos State,why can’t they attribute it to the present governor,l?,if this is so,is it not now sensible that he has subtly governed Lagos state for more than twenty years without Lagisians knowing ,isn’t that “godfatherism”,isn’t that the mother of corruption in Nigeria?.All the shortcomings,underdevelopment,endsar saga,cultism,corruption,”agberoism” and their monopoly in radicalism is something that should be attributed to him since his urchins wants to claim all the good for him.
