The Lagos State Debt Management Office (DMO) today, inspected the ongoing Blue Line Light Rail project, which is being partly funded with N87.5 Billion Bond series, to ascertain the level of progress in preparation for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) visit and also to ensure that the funds were properly expended.

The Leader of the Inspection team & PS Debt Management Office, Mr. Olujimi Ige, expressed satisfaction with the status of work done on the rail project, noting that the project was abandoned sometime in 2016 with the hope that the project will be restarted and ready for use soon.

He said the Light Rail project, expected to run from Badagry to Marina, will have several platforms for passengers to buy tickets, embark and disembark from the platform.
