Red rail line will be completed in December and operational in the first quarter of 2023, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said.
He spoke yesterday when he inspected work on the project. The inspection covered Oyingbo, Agege, Ikeja, Mushin and Yaba axis.
Accompanied by Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and other members of the State Executive Council (SEC), the governor reaffirmed his conviction to complete the rail project by first quarter of 2023.
He said the contractor had assured the government that the physical infrastructure of the project would be completed by the end of December to allow for testing before full operation.
Sanwo-Olu said the Agege station would be walled off, to restrain trading activities, adding that traders around the Yaba rail corridor would be relocated.
