Lagos State residents have been warned by the state government to avoid crossing the track of the Blue Rail line which is set to start full commercial operations today Monday September 4.

Chief Press Secretary to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Gboyega Akosile, rather advised the residents to rather use the overhead bridges as the rail line is electrified.

Also, the General Manager of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Abimbola Akinajo in a video clip accompanying Akosile’s post, expressed worry on the rate people cut fences on the Blue Rail and run across it.

The first phase of the rail line extends from Marina to Mile 2 with five stations located in Marina, National Theatre, Iganmu, Alaba, and Orile.
