Sanwo-Olu wrote, “
“Lagos, We have done it. As I sat in the beautiful airconditioned coach today, I smiled. A promise that has kept me up at night has finally been completed.
The first phase of the Blue Line Metro station running from Mile 2 to Marina has now been completed.
126 years after the first tram system that connected the mainland to the island, this first phase of the Blue Line is done.
COVID 19, civil unrests and other incidents that meant work had to shutdown for months came but we were determined to pursue this to its completion.
In January 2023, this project will be commissioned, beginning operations and also simultaneously flagging off the construction of Phase 2 (Mile 2 to Okoko).
For long term sustainability, we have developed an Independent Power Project which supplies electricity for the Metro line.”
