Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has set 2022 as deadline for the completion of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit projects.
A statement from the Lagos State government said that the 37-kilometre-long red line would start from Agbado and terminate at Oyingbo while the blue line project, which started in 2010, was currently at over 80 per cent completion.
The rail projects are being undertaken by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority under the Ministry of Transportation.
Sanwo-Olu said the take-off of the red line project was a major breakthrough for his administration in its drive to deliver an integrated transportation model that would ease road congestion in the state.
