Promise that was delivered by Fashola since June 2013, some 13 years after Thiefnuibu announced it as part of his ofege masterplan that did not include recruiting enough teachers for all Lagos children to be in free primary, vocational and secondary schools.
Do you and Sanwo Olu know what you are talking about, or you are just a bunch of fraudulent scammers ni

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

Because the other governors have not really improved thier states so their residents keep running to Lagos and the annoying thing is that one the greatest beneficiaries of the state keep insulting the state leaders and their people, meanwhile insecurity and underdevelopment won't allow them stay in theirs. They come and choke up the state and misuse the infrastructure.
Every road side.. They go Don display wares. Constituting a nuisance for everyone else. If government now comes to destroy thier eye sore shanties, they will start screaming that they are targeting thier Tribe. Nonesense people

Is this about his state?
If he is in Lagos, is he not paying taxes, tolls, levies, rates etc that make up the IGR Thiefnuibu loots instead of providing the basics to Lagos residents?
Is that something you can understand, or you are too deep in your Stockholm syndrome to be redeemed

itubaba001:
Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

Urban infrastructure takes much longer due to access and obstruction.
The logistics in getting materials to site alone on a daily basis is hectic as there is nowhere to store anything closeby not to talk about the cost and difficulty of relocation of existing structures and services.

That is why in other climes where possible they just go underground, but Lagos being practically at groundwater level this will be impracticable or horrendously expensive.

So relax. No city in the world builds to finish a metro in a generation.
The only thing they could have done better was to concentrate on a single line for completion, the most important line before embarking on expansions from this line to serve other locations.

Sanwo Olu is governor for almost 4 years now. So he’s technically right by his assumptions.

Is it Abuja or Addis Ababa that is not an urban area?
What will it take to redeem you from your suffering and smiling Stockholm syndrome affliction?

SB2020:
Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.

Addis Ababa / Lagos
Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion
Length == 34km / 27km
Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected)
Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010)
Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC)
Population == 5Million / 20Million
GDP == $50Billion (Ethiopia) / $100Billion (Est.) (Nigeria - $535B)


Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.

Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.

Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.

The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.

The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan.
The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.
