Lagos To Unveil Red Line Rail February

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said the Lagos Red Line rail would be unveiled in February.

Sanwo-Olu said he has written to President Bola Tinubu regarding the unveiling of the rail line.

He disclosed this at the Lagos West Senatorial District Town Hall Meeting held at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton, Ikeja.

“Our Red Line rail will be unveiled in February. In fact, we have written officially to Mr President to come and help us unveil it in February this year,” Sanwo-Olu said.

In December 2023, Sanwo-Olu unveiled the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red Line Ikeja Overpass.

Sanwo-Olu, while unveiling the overpass, expressed hope that the Red Line rail, which, according to him, is 95 per cent completed, will be unveiled by Tinubu before the end of the first quarter of 2024.

He added that the Red Line rail, when operational, will convey about 500,000 passengers daily.
