The Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, has said the Lagos Red Rail Line will be operational in 24 months (October 2022).

She made this statement in Lagos on Tuesday at a milestone meeting on the implementation of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red and Blue Line projects with the contractors and consultants.

Akinajo said the meeting was to reaffirm the already established positions on timelines for the delivery of the rail lines to passenger operation according to a statement by Assistant Director, Corporate Communication of LAMATA, Kolawole Ojelabi, titled ‘Lagos red rail line will be operational in 24 months’.

She said, “The red line is supposed to be a quick win because it will share tracks with the Nigerian Railway Corporation on its Lagos – Ibadan rail corridor. There will be no delays, no budget or cost overrun and there will not be any shift in delivery date.

“Our meeting is to take stock of what we have done so far since this project started and to re-emphasise that there is no room for slippage in the delivery of the red line.”

Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, has assured residents that the Lagos Red Rail Line project would be operational in 24 months. The projection is that the first phase of 24-kilometre stretch of the Red Line, between Oyingbo and Agbado, representing the first phase of the 37-kilometre rail road project, will carry between 350,000 and 400,000 passengers daily.

Managing Director of LAMATA, Engr. (Mrs) Abimbola Akinajo, stated this in Lagos yesterday. Speaking at a milestone meeting on the implementation of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit, LRMT, Red and Blue Line projects with the contractors and consultants, Akinajo said the meeting was to reiterate the already established positions on timeline for the delivery of the rail lines to passenger operation. The Red Line is one of seven rail lines identified in the State’s Strategic Transport Master Plan for the mass movement of commuters to reduce congestion which has come to characterize the state.

“The Red Line is supposed to be a quick win because it will share tracks with the Nigerian Railway Corporation on its Lagos – Ibadan rail corridor. There will be no delays, no budget or cost overrun and there will not be any shift in delivery date, Railway is one of the ways cities deal with traffic congestion,” Akinajo stated. Also speaking, Director of Rail Transportation, LAMATA, Mr. Olasunkanmi Okusaga reiterated that the contractors and consultants on the projects must work together saying challenges must be quickly reported and resolved in a way that would be beneficial to timely delivery of the projects.

Good news afterall.
Let's hear some good news for once in this country

Press Release

If and hopefully when they pull this off, that means Sanwoolu's administration will be launching two rail networks before 2023.

This will make reelection very easy for him.

Reason why Lagos can never be Edo or any other useless state. Lagos is a country, whoever doesn't agree can go and jump from the second Niger bridge constructed by Buhari.



I AM DONE TALKING

Lagos is not Edo
