 Away from that, Governor Baba Jaleesan Olu has restated his commitment to ensuring that the blue and red rail lines commenced operation this year. He gave this assurance during an inspection of the mass rail products on Monday in Lagos. The rail lines are part of the state's government's vision of an integrated multi-model transportation system. It is contained in the state's Strategic Transport Master Plan. Most of the Africa's correspondents Lobby Kukui Edokun was there and now reports. Governor Baba Jaleesan Olu accompanied by some members of the state executive, expecting ongoing work on the blue and red line projects in Lagos. The governor was out to ascertain the level of work done by contractors handling the projects. First, he was at the Yaba Terminal, later moved to the Uyingbu Train Terminals, and then Marina Station. The Marina Terminals of the blue line will be an elevated station, is to be a transportation hub offering intermodal transportation services. Though visits to the sites didn't leave the governor and his team disappointed, the contractors were on sites working round the clock to ensure the meet deadlines. I'm happy to, and as you all have seen, I'm happy to report that the construction are going on according to schedule. All the contractors, you can see even today being a working day, they were all on site working. You could see where we started from at the iconic Ikeja station, which will be the main iconic station for the red line. It's almost the same size of Marina, which is going to be almost 200 meters train concourse. In February 2021, the Lagos state government announced that the blue and red lines would start operation by December 2022. This state, Governor Sao Onu said, remained sacrosanct. The road works at Ikeja is going on well. The overpass from Obafi-Meauloa onto Akege-Motoa road, you could see also, the stabling yard that everything is on course, we're hoping that they will even finish, especially the bridge component, slightly ahead of schedule because of the traffic impact that it has for motorists in that corridor. You push them to ensure that maybe by the end of the third quarter, the bridge should be completed. When completed and fully operational, the project is expected to change the transport landscape in Lagos. From Lagos, love Ikuku Uyiduku for Plus TV, Africa.
