LAMATA Engages Councils On 57km Purple Line Rail Project by Biodun556(op): 10:23am On Feb 05, 2025
AFD extols progress on Lagos transport interchange hubs project

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has begun stakeholders’ engagement meetings as a precursor to scoping activities for the proposed Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Purple Line project.

A team of officials from LAMATA, yesterday, visited Ikeja and Agege local councils, as well as Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) to initiate discussions with local stakeholders.

Council officials, during the visit, expressed their support for the project. Chairman of Ikeja Local Council, Dr Balogun Mojeed, affirmed his commitment to the project, emphasising its potential to improve the lives of Lagos residents and contribute to the city’s development as a smart city.

In Agege, Rasheed Adaranijo, who represented the council chairman, Kola Egunjobi, assured the LAMATA team of the council’s readiness to support the initiative.

Similarly, David Odunmbaku of Ojodu LCDA commended the governor for undertaking such impactful projects, highlighting the long-awaited need for an intermodal transport system in Lagos.

MEANWHILE, the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) has expressed satisfaction with the progress of transport interchange projects in Lagos State, funded by state government and the AFD.

A team, led by the Country Director, Xavier Muron, recently conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the two interchange hub projects at Marina and Mile 2, giving the new project lead, Anne Chaussavoine, a firsthand look at the advancements in Lagos transport infrastructure.

Chaussavoine expressed optimism about the project’s progress and its potential to positively impact the lives of Lagos residents. The outgoing team lead, David Margonsztern, also lauded the project’s progress, stating his intention to return and witness the realisation of the envisioned integrated multimodal transport system.

There’s Orange Line for that axis.

It may only take time, especially, when there are no ready private investors.

Ikorodu has water surrounding the town which is currently enjoying ferry services

So let rail line go to other parts of the state

That Green Line rail project on the Lekki Peninsula axis would be the ultimate game changer in mass transit... in addition to the proposed Purple Line project. It's gonna be a sum total of "one brick at a time" and "one step at a time."
