embarassed It will be nearing completion until the elections are over, then they will stall the project for another 4 years. It is only foolish people that fall for such gimmicks.

It takes Lagos state more than 12 years to complete a fully functional railway terminal whereas Anambra initiated and completed an airport in 8 months which is already operational.

I guess the railway workers are more worried about urchins that will be defecating on the tracks or the absence of owomida in those areas once it's operational, SMH.

It is always good for people to be objective. This is one if the sins of Ambode, govt is supposed to be continous. Instead of him to complete Fashola's projects, he started his own. Though he did well in Oshodi, but going for personal glory is vain. Reason I like Sanwo-Olu, he's busy completing the projects of his 2 predecessors. He could have neglected them like Ambode and chose to start a new city in Dangote Ibeju and decide to turn Mowe to Abuja.

And he didn't give Anambra more infrastructure while he was Governor. Obviously, from inception of this current dispensation (4th republic) Lagos state has been a model for infrastructural development.

Mr op where exactly is the boarding point, because I know too well that in 2030 this rail never start work, you guys are just showing CMS side what of orile side
Oga orile station, national theatre, Alaba and Mile 2 stations were all completed by Fashola with the rails laid. It is only this Marina axis that caused the delay. The bridge crossing the lagoon from Iganmu to Lagos Island was abandoned in the middle of the Lagos Lagoon and Ambode had no interest in carrying on with the project.

Sanwo-Olu was in the committee that set up the Lagos rail lines in early 2000's. He came in and revived the project. Now he has completed the bridge and the marina station (which is the last for blue line) is nearing completion. He even started the red line from stratch and it will be completed next year.

The management deal was just signed last month I think. Once the new management settles down fully, rice production will commence at the mill.

Let them not come and charge N50 per trip. It won't make a profit to keep itself that way.
I'm pretty sure it would be given to a private firm to manage. And we all know Private firm manages business better than the Government.

This is a commendable project and long overdue. The plans for 5 more lines will go a long way to ease the transport challenges of Africa's second largest megacity.

this is not locomotive my guy,this has come to stay. This investment can generate back the fund within 4 years .
just try to calculate the IGR on this project using the capacity of the train and cycle to be completed in 24 hours

It's Tinubu's project. Sanwo Olu was even among those that drew the Lagos railway lines in the year 2000. Tinubu also brought in the investors. However, it was Sanwo Olu who paid the counter part funding to complete the railway project whereas Ambode neglected it. Sanwo Olu tried TBH.

Well said,bro!
These leaders have made Nigerians poorer than the ways they met them,hence increased poverty level ! In fact most Governors are Emperors in their back yard!
Shameful!

I know. That's why private organization doesn't fail.. In the bid to make profit, they have to run their business very well.
