| Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) |
The 27 kilometre light metro rail line, christened Blue Line, will run from Okokomaiko in the west of Lagos to CMS in Central Lagos and is expected to provide alternative transportation for thousands of commuters moving from the western axis of the city to the city centre everyday.
Already substantial work has begun on the project between the National Theatre in Iganmu and Mile 2.
According to a recent 2011 monthly progress report on the project, all the columns for the concourse at the Lagos end of the Rail line have been completely cast to the Alaba station’s elevated level with the concretes currently being cured while the superstructure work on the station is in progress.
The rail project, according to the report, will increase economic activities along the corridor, reduce traffic congestion and vehicular emission since owners would be encouraged to drop their vehicles and use public transport.

WHEN I HEAR OF SUCH STORIES,IT IS LIKE ICING ON A CAKE.WE ARE NOT ALL MONSTERS AND RETARDS,GREAT THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT FASHIOLA AND PLEASE HELP STRENGTHEN OUR DEMOCRACY SO THAT THESE GOODWORKS CAN BE SUSTAINED.
ReplyDeleteAPGA controlled states.. this is a challenge and a wake up call.
ReplyDeleteAll South East Gov also.
I dont know the reason behind the fuss or clamour for positions in National Assembly.
What should matter most to South East Governors and elected politicians from the region should have been how to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people that elected them.
After all how does the office of the Senate President/Party Chairman or Speaker of the Houseof Rep affect the ordinary citizen from the region, except as an avenue for a one or two individuals to continue to enrich them selves.
Good move by Fashola.this project was initiated by Gov.Jakande but cancelled by Buhari for no just cause.Thank God he didnt win the presidential elections.By now we would have been like any other developed European country with trams,high speed trains and all this deaths due to bad roads and congestion would have been a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteDO NOT TRUST ANY HAUSA/FULANI MAN.HE WILL TAKE US BACK TO THE STONE AGE!!!!.
We are all bearing witness to what is going on in terms of infrastructural development in the South while the North is busy training their people to carry bombs and murder innocent people and to recite the koran.Tommorrow,they will cite illiteracy,destitution,lack of work as reason for murdering their fellow citizens.
MY POSTER OF DEVELOPMENT TO ACN CONTROL STATES:
ReplyDelete1. INTER AND INTRA LIGHT TRAINS SYSTEM USING THEIR OWN TRACKS NOT MORIBUND FGN RAILWAYS
2. NEW TOLL ROADS
3. MASSIVE AGRICULTURE SETTLEMENTS
4. REFUBLISHING OLD INDUSTRIAL ESTATES & BUILD NEW ONES
5. PRIVATE ELECTRICITY GENERATION, DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING
ALL ACN CONTROL STATES SHOULD HAVE INTER AND INTRA LIGHT TRAINS, FROM LAGOS THROUGH OGUN, OYO, OSUN, EKITI, ONDO, EDO TO DELTA TO KOGI KWARA AND OKE-OGUN SAKI, YELWA BADAGRY. THEY SHOULD NOT VENTURE USING FGN RAIL LINES. LET THEM CONTRUCT NEW RAILWAYS. THOUGH KOGI AND KWARA NOT CONTROL, THEY COULD PARTNER WITH THEM FORTHE COMMON GOOD OF THEIR PEOPLE LIKE NY AND NJ DO IN USA, YET THE TWO STATES SOMETIMES RULE BY DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN
GOOD JOBS ACN.

Its a good start, at least there are some well few meaniful leaders in our country, when we see things like this happening in our country we have the hope that the whole apple the basket is not bad after all
ReplyDeleteI Wish Raji Rashola will read all these comments and become more encouraged to carry on his good works. Please detractors, I beg you not to discourage this role model from these good works he has started doing. Kudos Governor!
