Buhari to commission Lagos Blue rail line Tuesday

PRESIDENT Buhari will on Tuesday commission the 13 kilometres first phase of the Lagos Blue Rail Line.

The Blue Line is expected to be 27 km long, connecting Okokomaiko to Marina.

The event will take place at the Marina Train Station, Outer Marina area of the state.

The elevated train network will transit between Marina and Mile-2 axis of the state as part of measures to ease road congestion.

The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said “the rail project would move no less than 250,000 passengers daily, while the entire line when completed would move more than 500,000 passengers.”

The rail has five stations at Mile 2, Suru-Alaba, Orile Iganmu, National Theatre and Marina.

The project is being handled by the state’s Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
