The Lagos State Government on Friday conducted a test of the new new Blue Line Rail in the Marina area of the state.
A video of surfaced online showing the test run of the Rail line in the state.
Recall that the State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had, in August, affirmed his administration’s commitment to the timely delivery of infrastructure needed for economic prosperity of the state, insisting that the test run of the Lagos Blue trains would start in December this year.
The governor said that the Marina station, which is the iconic station for the Blue Line Project will be completed before December ending.
“We want to ensure that we will formally complete the Blue Line before December 31, 2022,” he stated.
He disclosed that the trains, which will carry passengers in the state from one location to another are on the way and would arrive Nigeria from China in October.
“However, we will be doing testing from December, with the hope that real passenger movement will start in the first quarter of 2023.
“We will take this construction from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko all the way back, and while taking it back, we will build a station at FESTAC Town, at alakija, at Volkswagen, at LASU and finally, at the Okokomaiko.’’
With such confirmations from the State Governor, it is no wonder that we have begun to see test-run being undertaken already.
Sanwo-Olu made these confirmations during the celebration of the Last T-Beam Launch for Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line Project held in Lagos.
