Big B1:

All I'm asking for is a successful implementation of the project; an implementation that will not compromise human rights law or the security of the citizens, but empowers the people of Lagos state.
Fashola is known to do wuruwuru projects.


So solving transportation problems in Lagos state is now a human rights issue.

Below is the UN Mandate on Transportation and I really think many of you should be very happy this man is doing what the UN asked for and the fact he's doing it on behalf of Lagosians and Nigerians.




Mandate

UN-Habitat’s activities in urban transport are guided by the overall mandate of the organisation, particularly the transport-related provisions of the Habitat Agenda, the Declaration of Cities and Other Human Settlements in the New Millennium and more recently the Governing Council Resolution GC 22/8 on Guidelines on access to basic services for all as well as the MTSIP Focus Area 4. UN-Habitat advocates for policies and models to achieve sustainable urban transportation systems across the globe in the context of an overall mission to promote sustainable development of human settlements and the achievement of adequate shelter for all.

Transport and communication systems are the key to the movement of goods, people, information and ideas. They are also key to access to markets, employment, schools and other facilities and land use, both within cities and between cities, and in rural and other remote areas. The transportation sector is a major consumer of non-renewable energy and of land and is a major contributor to pollution, congestion and accidents. Integrated transport and land-use policy and planning can reduce the ill effects of current transport systems.

People living in poverty, women, children, youth, older persons and people with disabilities are particularly disadvantaged by the lack of accessible, affordable, safe and efficient public transport systems. From this perspective, Transport represents one of the many issues which could contribute to overcome difficulties and inertia that prevent developing countries from breaking the vicious circle of poverty.

lmao. look at this can't read and comprehend this olodo.


From the same article you posted,





In April 2008, the Lagos State Government approved N70bn for both the Ojo/LASU-Okokomaiko-Marina Line and its construction, with an estimated completion date of 2011.


N70bn = $466 million.


Around the same $500 million we are talking about for the same line under construction.

The 3 billion is an estimate for a full scale metro system scattered all over the state,


The facts are not on your side so quit the bad bele and gross display of ignorance.

Fashola should use this term to focus on people oriented projects and not all this white elephant projects. The poor people suffered during his first term in office.

gbammmmm

supported

all this white elephant project that this man and ACN are carrying around will not do them any good

first, he needs to orienate the people and provide security for the people

lagosians do not really care about a rail project, we want security, food, and jobs angry

Print version Lagos’ N450 Billion Light Rail Project Takes Off March
The long awaited N450 billion ($3 billion) Lagos’ Light Rail project will take off in March, Governor Babatunde Fashola has said.

He said the design for the project, which is already at the final stage, would be completed and submitted by the contractors handling the project’s design next month.

The rail project consists of seven rail lines. Two of the proposed lines have been approved for construction.

The Blue line would link Okomaiko to Marina through Mile 2, while the Red line would link Agege, Mushin, Iddo and end at Marina.

The state government has secured some external funds for the project, about $1.5 billion to build the infrastructure of the rail project and allow interested private firms to operate the lines as done with the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.

When completed, the rail project would carry millions of passengers per day while the concessionaires would manage the project for a period of 25 years after which it would be handed over to the government.

According to the governor, who spoke at an economic summit in Lagos yesterday, the decision of the government to commit huge sum of money on the project was justifiable, insisting that the issue of poverty could not be dealt with without addressing transportation problems.

“The whole essence of human endeavour is to look for food, shelter and clothing and he would do that by getting wealth and running businesses. Now if the cost of transporting yourself to work eats half of your wages, you would stay poor,” he said.

Fashola also said that with several projects ongoing in the state, better days lie ahead for the people of Lagos in terms of provision of improved infrastructure and services for the people by the present administration.

He stated that many of the lofty projects being embarked upon by the state would reach its fruition this year with more positive impact, stressing that one of the things that stood him in good stead for the job was that he became a governor after having been an insider in the running of the government of the state.

He said on assumption of office, one of the main pre-occupation of his administration was to reverse the infrastructural deficit of almost 30 years by making infrastructure renewal its first goal.

The governor added that part of the strategies for achieving this was in dedicating 60 percent of the State budget to infrastructure renewal and setting strict guidelines which encompassed setting of timelines and deadlines on all policies and programmes which must be met.

On the issue of resistance to the payment of taxes, Fashola said if there were any forms of resistance, it was in terms of pessimism of the people about the efficiency of the system and about past broken promises.

He disclosed that by the end of 2010, about 25 kilometres of the Lekki- Epe Express Way would have been completed, assuring that the road would be completed by 2011.

Fashola further disclosed that the Itire-Okota Link Bridge, Funsho Willimas Avenue and Igbo Elerin road would be completed in 2010.

Governor Fashola while justifying the need to identify and protect the locations of cables laid across the state, said the state through the Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) had asked telecom operators in the state to supply their work plans so that the state could work on it with its contractors to avoid incidences of cable cutting during construction.

In addition, Fashola said as at the last count, over 20, 000 people had benefited from the micro credit finance of the State which according to him has also created over 150,000 jobs.

On his re-election in 2011, Fashola said no decision had been made by the Action Congress, the party on whose platform he was elected.

Sit in those things at your own risk. On my visits to NY i was thoroughly disgusted. The A line is an eye sore. . It is so expensive to maintain as well. Their transportation authority is always cutting one service or the other. .


Nobody says "A Line", so that alone let me know that most likely youre lying and youve never taken the subway in NY!!!

The "A Line is an eyesore"?! Really?! So, whats the the difference of the "A" from the B, C, E,F, 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7?! Huh, tell me Mr."Know-It-All-Even-Though-The-First-Time-I-Ever-Saw-A-Train-Upclose-Was-When-I-Came-To-The-United-States"!!!!

Crass stupidity. By the way, what are you doing arguing so much about a country you have no idea about? It makes you very silly because you argue blindly. You have never even been to Lagos in your life. Probably one of those hood rats sleeping on the A train all day. I know your A train is your hide out and your home. It can only be suitable for animals like you, who have no life but to sit on the internet throwing insults like a mental case. GTFOOH, fu*cking low life. You have nothing to do with your life, than to talk about Nigeria? Anyway, my last word to you on NL. Not much can be expected from a dude that answers "Babe". ROTFLMAO.

Give me something better to respond to, I'm not interested in all the silly 1-2 liners you people are peddling with nothing to support your objections.

To say a rail system designed to move almost a million people a day and get them to work safely and and back home on time is not needed is the apex of stupidity and re'tardedness.

Wow! So, the next line is : when losing an argument, carry on like a mad-man instead of presenting a better, and more convincing rebuttal?!

If I was a "Low-life" I wouldnt be LIVING IN NY and you WOULDNT be VISITING---supposedly (Still dont believe youve ever been out here. Sounds like u seen a lotta NY based movies tho)!!! Try living here for one year and lets compare pockets at the end of 12 months.

Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by GAR3TH(m): 7:47pm On May 16, 2011
actually if Fashola and LAMATA consider using subway trains for the rail lines thats actually a good thing.

despite the looks subway cars (Heavy Rail) are able to carry waaay more passengers than a light rail tram.

BTW the cars look no different from the ones used in other major cities.
