There is a limit of megawatts , we can generate. If it is above that, we will be required to send it to the national grid. That's the law. Lagos need to opt out of that useless national grid.....

They should have done that since 2015 with the national leader of democracy, VP, ministers and the Speaker HoR etc. Why not since

OUR TARGET FOR COMPLETION OF RED, BLUE LINE RAIL PROJECTS STILL ON COURSE, SAYS SANWO-OLU

•As Governor inspects ongoing works at four stations

In line with his administration's commitment to Traffic Management and Transportation, Governor, Mr. @jidesanwoolu, assured Lagosians that the fourth quarter of this year's completion time set for completion of the Red and Blue line rail projects in the State remains sacrosanct.

He reiterated his government’s promise to deliver the red and blue line rail projects in the last quarter of this year during an on-the-spot assessment and inspection tour of Blue and Red Rail line projects at Ikeja, Yaba, Ebute Metta and Marina Stations.

Speaking to journalists on Monday at the Marina Station of the rail project, which is under construction, Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed satisfaction with the pace of works at the stations, noting that the contractors were on course and hoped that they would round up works on the Blue and Red line rails according to schedule for commercial activities this year.

“Our promise on the blue and the red line is still on course. We believe that, by coming on a quarterly basis to supervise them, we would ensure that before the end of this year, we will see the trains on top of the tracks". "That is our commitment and we will begin to monitor and check ourselves, It is a very iconic and landmark project that we are truly proud of".

"On behalf of the government, I want to commend all of our contractors because they are very committed. They have assured us that whatever it takes, they will complete all of the projects on schedule and on budget,”

Governor @jidesanwoolu, who was accompanied by some of his cabinet members and heads of agencies, said the inspection tour to the Blue & Red line rail project was in regards to the promise made by his administration to monitor the pace of works in the areas on a quarterly basis.

The Governor, who promised to intensify supervision and monitoring of the projects quarterly to facilitate speedy completion, also commended the contractors for keeping up with the timeline at the stations visited, considering improvements at the sites of the projects.

At the Ikeja Station, which will be the main iconic station for the red line project, the station was at foundation level in September but the project is now at the second floor level, remaining a floor before they will get to the third floor, which is the final floor.

At Yaba site, about three months ago, the contractor was at the excavating stage but, they are now decking to go to the second floor in line with the matching order to the contractor to ensure that they keep to the timelines and the deadline.

The Ebute-Metta Station is far ahead of delivery because the contractor has finished the carcass of the station as Governor @jidesanwoolu
and his entourage during the tour to the station were able to walk into the station safely.

This might be a good time to ask why other States of Nigeria do not even have bus lanes while Lagos is constructing the first comprehensive intra-city metro rail system in West Africa.
