A-ZeD:
I'm just worried that airport is the last of our problems. We should improve the efficiency of the current ones before spend scarce funds on another one.

The Airport is needed, remember the Eko Atlantic City! The city needs an high class airport too

It seems Edwin Clark wants all the regions in nigeria to be enemy of jonathan. I dont understand how he would call all the leaders in the country enemy of the president, all because they want to project a new future for the country. Yes, some of the leaders from the north may be bad, but why not listen to what the have to say first......

I wonder which region would vote for jonathan. only ss can not get jonathan the presidency come 2015.
Peace!!!

City Of Excellence!!!

Infrastructure Bank leads $2bn funding for Lagos rail project
Sunday, 09 June 2013



THE Infrastructure Bank Plc is to provide funds for the proposed $2 billion Lagos Red Line Rail Project that will commute two million passengers daily from Alagbado to Marina.

Hakeem Olopade, the bank’s executive director (Projects), disclosed this in Lagos over the weekend at the ongoing 3rd Economic Commission of West Africa States (ECOWAS) Investment Forum.

The Infrastructure Bank Plc is the chief promoter and financier of the rail project.

The funds, to be coordinated by the bank, will be sourced from the local and international markets.

Olopade said that the project had been in conception since five years ago and would be implemented by Marina Express Consortium to ease transportation in populated areas of Lagos.

According to him, the Red Line Rail project would stretch 37 kilometres with 36 pedestrian walkover bridges to end at the Marina.

Olopade said that that the Red Line and the ongoing Blue Line Rail projects would converge on a “signature bridge” to link the Mainland to the Marina. He said that the bridge would cost $200 million.

Olopade said that the Red Line Rail project might be extended to Ogun State in the future.

He said that the Red Line Rail project would be a two- type infrastructure, which would cost one billion dollars each.

The executive director said that the bank, in implementing the project, would be responsible for the fixed infrastructure as it would be responsible for the fixed infrastructure as well as the operation and maintenance.

Olopade said that the moving infrastructure would have a rail signal communication, among others.

Olopade said that one of the core objectives of the Red Line project was to provide a world-class rail system.

He said that the bank would also ensure that there was constant improvement in the area of service delivery to the people of Lagos State.

The bank executive identified skill and training as paramount to the project and said that the bank was assembling a global team to implement the project.

“We also want to make sure that as we provide training and skill services, there is a clear system of transfer programme to ensure that within a short time, the rail would be run by Nigerians for Nigerians.

“We also have a corporate social responsibility, as core driver of the project, by creating one thousand direct jobs apart from the indirect jobs that would also be provided on the corridors,” he said.

Olopade said that there would be signal that would be laid on the track corridor for free access to Internet for school children.

“We are also conscious of school passengers and pensioners and there would be aggregate tariff for them to benefit from the rails service.”

He said that the project was part of the World Bank’s sponsored study for transport infrastructure and solution for Lagos.

The BRT, which is the Bus Rapid Transport, also came out of that study.

“This railway project is part of the integrated mode of transportation from that study.

“There would be seven metro lines and the Red Line and Blue Line are the prototypes that Lagos State has agreed to commission as a starter.

“The Blue Line is already taken by the state. The Red Line is going to be a concession that would be run by the private sector,” Olopade said.

bobthebuilder99: Why are you quoting? I read it the first time.

They sound ridiculous claiming 7 million members. I guess you don't live in the SW, but trust me, that number is a big lie.

I know what i'm talking about......

ATM-CARD:
.No OPC is semi-terrorist grp.Atleast they use juju n tie red cloths

In your dreams......

bobthebuilder99: Olodo, OPC has 7000 members if they are lucky.

“We state here as a matter of fact that the OPC is a visible organization, with known addresses all over the country. Its leaders are also known and accessible to all Nigerians, including security agencies. We draw our strength from our membership of more than seven million. It is also on record that we don’t engage in clandestine activities, since our activities are known to all and recorded for history by the vibrant and courageous Nigerian media and therefore is in no way a security threat to the country,”

IT IS FUNNY, SO THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO ARREST 7 MILLION OPC MEMBERS... CAN THEY AFFORD IT

GOD PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON NIGERIA.

FOR ONCE IN THE EXISTENCE OF OUR COUNTRY NIGERIA, PLEASE GIVE US A PRESIDENT THAT IS A TECHNOCRAT, BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT, CREATIVE THINKER AND ACHIEVER.
A GOAL GETTER.
PLEASE MAKE FASHOLA NIGERIA'S NEXT PRESIDENT.
I HAVE NEVER VOTED BEFORE, BUT I WILL TRAVEL BACK TO NIGERIA IS VOTE.
