Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced the successful procurement of additional rolling stocks for the Blue Line and Red Line rail operations, aiming to alleviate transportation challenges for millions of Lagos residents. 

The governor revealed that these additional rolling stocks are expected to arrive in Lagos before the end of the year, significantly accelerating the timeline for their availability.

The Lagos State team, in collaboration with its partners, secured an agreement for the expedited delivery of the additional rolling stocks, cutting the usual two-year construction period down to one year. This initiative is part of the state government’s commitment to advancing the completion of the second phase of the Blue Line rail project and launching the commercial operations of the Red Line rail project.

During a meeting with the President and management of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) at the corporation’s headquarters in Beijing, China, Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized the urgency of addressing traffic and transportation challenges faced by over 22 million Lagosians. 

Sanwo-Olu expressed satisfaction with the progress of the Red Line project and reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to providing efficient transportation solutions for Lagos residents.
