9jaRealist:You now get my point. The light rail project should have taken precedence as it's ongoing already. Instead Ambode did not touch it for 4 years. Even if it will take 20 years, let us see progress. |

Ajibel: Lagos Light Rail: 17 years after, failed promises, rot, neglect trail project More than a decade since the construction of the Lagos Light Rail has commenced, it has failed to see the light of the day. Last December, the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the blue line rail project will be completed in 2020 and become operational in 2021. Mr Sanwo-Olu spoke after inspecting the five-kilometre- long beam bridge constructed from Iganmu to Marina, as part of the fourth phase of the project. He claimed that the completion of the sea-crossing track indicated his administration’s commitment towards finishing the state-funded track started in 2009. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/investigationspecial-reports/431862-lagos-light-rail-17-years-after-failed-promises-rot-neglect-trail-project.html

sulaak: 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’.

sulaak: It’s called “a low hanging fruit”... While you are building a long-term rail project, people need buses TODAY to conveniently get around the City. PS: Meanwhile, forget the primitively crude political “probe” which has now been abandoned... It was the same 820 buses that the current administration launched with fan fare, and used to ameliorate the Okada ban. > > |

sulaak: And further btw (since many folks here apparently swear by Premium Times), here’s a linked report below on the “desperately needed investment” made by the Ambode administration in the Light Rail project (and this does not include the deal with Alstom of France). In fact, most of the Marina Bridge was built during the Ambode government. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/280441-ambode-govt-spends-over-100mn-euros-on-lagos-light-rail-project.html _____________________________________________ PS: If there’s something anyone here should know about me is that I am primarily and principally interested in GOVERNANCE, with little or no appetite for crude partisan politics. That’s why, as a Lagosian, I have always been relatively proud that for the most part since the advent of civilian rule (at least since the Fashola administration), Lagos has seemingly prioritized GOVERNANCE over individual and personal glory-hunting. > |

9jaRealist: A long term project that is now 17 years! Similar countries, Ethiopia for example completed the projects within 2-4 years. The longer the project the less viable the project becomes. The Blue and Red line will soon become another relic Ajaokuta Steel plant. The skills and technology becomes redundant and will require a complete overhaul. 1 Like |

9jaRealist: Governance and operations were the mantras under the Fashola regime, but under both Ambode and Sanwo Olu, I am concerned that their weak political standing is limiting their ability to deliver critical projects such as the Blue and Redline. It's no secret that the operation of the BRT is owned by former governor Bola Tinubu relation Fola Tinub, I understand that politics always comes into account whenever you are working on a multi-million dollar programme but diverting million of funds from the Blue line to the procurement of 820 buses using world bank loan is criminal. This is after the $400m loan France Alstom. The longer the Blue line and red line is delayed the less likely it will happen, Lagos doesn't have enough roads and bridges to manage 2 million vehicles hence the importance and priority of rail systems in Lagos. Fola Tinubu, managing director of Primero Transport Services Limited, operator of Lagos Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), thought it wise to invest in the busiest city in Africa, in a bid to solve transportation issues. |

travelwaka:The only way to encourage the Nigerian middle class to ditch their cars is to complete the Blue and Red line now. The middle class are now using the Abuja to Kano railway because it's safe, clean and operational. The Lagos middle class cannot be expected to depend on a transport system that will still have to navigate the Lagos roads congestion. My suggestions 1. Complete the light rail programme 2. Introduce congestion charge, Lagosian should pay to use the roads 3. Use the funds from the Congestion Charge to improve the roads 1 Like |

sulaak: It has NOT been 17 years (which would’ve been under Tinubu)... Rather, construction started in 2009 under Fashola’s administration. Furthermore, as I had already noted elsewhere on this thread, substantial delays in complex and capital-intensive infrastructure projects are not abnormal. Even in the world’s richest-ever nation, the United States, it took 25 years (and billions of dollars in cost overruns) to build the 1.5m Boston Tunnel (the so-called “Big Dig”), while the Second Avenue subway line in NYC was only completed in 2017 after several decades of work. One has to bear in mind that this is a project that was begun when the exchange rate was about $1/N115, as opposed to about $1/N400 presently. That means that, even without any cost variation, Lagos has to find MORE THAN THREE TIMES the original budgetary allocation. > |

sulaak: Where do you dudes pull this stuff out from? There was NO such loan from Alstom.... Alstom’s role in the Light Rail project is to electrify a portion of the Blue Line and help Lagos source for rolling stock. Btw, the “operation of the BRT” is NOT owned by Fola Tinubu. Rather, Primero (the company headed by Fola Tinubu as CEO) is a concessionaire for just ONE BRT route (Ikorodu-TBS), out of the 13 BRT routes set forth in the Lagos Transportation Masterplan. Meanwhile, the same Primero bid for and lost the concession to operate the Oshodi-Abule Egba BRT route. Furthermore, while I don’t know if Fola Tinubu is a “relation” of Bola Tinubu, it is substantively irrelevant since the concession of each BRT route is subject to an open public bidding process (a requirement by the World Bank in making the $200m loan for the Lagos Urban Transport Project, which includes funding for BRT infrastructure). > |

sulaak: The current schedule for completion of both Blue and Red lines is end of 2022... In the meantime, Lagosians should not be trekking so that all transportation funds can be devoted to only one mode of transport. > |

9jaRealist: It's now 2022! When do you stop defending fraud and incompetence, Ambode, Sanwo-Olu, Fashola are all linked to the same political party and godfather yet they cannot complete a 4-year project in 17 years!

9jaRealist: The plan started in 2003, you pay for plan and design they are not free and usually cost millions of dollar. Stop using Western failure as a barometer for Nigeria failure. Will, you also use USA success in road construction to justify Nigeria lack of investment in road construction or rail network. Nigeria failure is unique to Nigeria, poorer countries like Vietnam, Ethiopia and Morocco have been able to build light rail within record time, Egypt, Iran and Algeria have underground rail network. 1 Like |
