Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday said his administration has procured additional rolling stocks for the Blue Line and Red Line rail operations, to bring more relief to millions of Lagos residents.
He said the additional rolling stocks are expected to arrive in Lagos before the end of the year.
The Lagos State team through its partners was able to secure an agreement for the additional rolling stocks for the Blue Line and Red Line rail lines to be ready within a year and delivered before the end of the year as against the normal two-year period that it takes for the construction company to build the coaches.
Speaking during a high-level meeting of Lagos State Government officials with the President and management of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) at its headquarters in Beijing, China, on Thursday, Governor Sanwo-Olu reiterated his administration’s commitment to the completion of the second phase of the Blue Line rail project and flag off of the commercial operations of the Red Line rail project.
