Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, took a two-and-a-half-hour tour of the Blue Line Train’s ongoing construction on Sunday, ensuring that the rail line’s operational service deadline of the first quarter of 2023 will be met.
Sanwo-Olu had started inspecting the Red Line earlier this year and promised that trains will start running on the two lines early next year.
Following the inspection on Sunday, the governor spoke at the Marina Station, expressing satisfaction with the current state of work and announcing that more trains will be procured for a quick start.
Residents who had begun vandalizing some of the iron barricades, on the other hand, were told to be cautious because the tracks were electrified.
Unlike the Red Line, which runs along the Ikeja, Alagbado, and Marina axis, he said the Blue Line from Marina to Mile 2 would be electrified, and that citizens, including passengers, should not walk on the tracks.
The governor went on to state that when law enforcement agents are enforcing sanctions, they follow the criminals up to the businesses that are patronizing the vandals, claiming that if they weren’t sponsoring them, it would be difficult to sell the stolen goods.
“We started our journey from the National Art Theatre. We were on tracks from Orile-Iganmu to Alaba Station and to Mile 2 Station and we were all taken around the stations which we called concourse.
“At the Iganmu Station, it is just one but Alaba and Mile 2 are double stations. Finally, we took the train back to National Art Theatre where we all inspected a brand new train that is a typical train that will be used on the Blue Line. This is the first time I’m taking you on the Blue Line to see where we are.
“The Blue Line terminates at Marina, at the back in Marina, it is an elevated station and it stretches out to outer Marina and where the Governor’s residence is, it is where it terminates. At the end of the station, you could see that the track is broken into two bridges. Why we have to have the backtrack is for parking,” the governor explained.
Governor Sanwo-Olu praised the contractors for their hard work during the week, estimating that the train line will be finished in three weeks.
“We are happy that the contractors are working seven days a week. The major aspect apart from the Marina Station is a sea crossing from Eko Bridge to join the outer Marina. They have to finish it in about three months.
“By the time we will be coming back in July, the concrete construction should have been completed. It will just be finishing inside the train stations and the terminal buildings,” he said.
“I’m also happy that we have purchased additional trains. We will be going to China in May or June just to have a look.
“Based on the promises that we gave you, the Red and the Blue Lines, we have a lot to clean up and a lot of retooling and fencing, we are on track and more importantly, the third rail which is the power tracks and it will be done and I’m happy you have been able to go on the journey with us. It was an experience which I believe will be with you for a very long time,” he added.
