Photos: Work in progress on light rail system construction in Lagos
The
proposed light rail system being constructed by the Lagos state
government in partnership with the World Bank is coming up well, with the
rail tracks now being laid on the flyover rail-bridge that would run
from Orile down to the island. The rail system is being developed to ease
business transportation from the Badagry end of Lagos down to Lagos Island. See more exclusive photos after the cut..
My Brother This is surpose to be a federal project, but Fashola took it up, got Funds from world bank and this is the result of the selfless service Governor Fashola. So please stop this Federal Government thing.
Kudos to Lagos state government...I hope that other state governors 'll emulate this exemplary leadership to provide more infrastructural development for the benefit the people they govern.
Good to hear, and I hope they finish it before the next election, because we have continutity problem in our government system, also I pray the mentality of using train rail track as buying and selling point will not lead to Major accident
That's a good development however,If they are going to function at night, they should see to the safety of passengers boarding around orile area cos they rob there at night , (most nights) the situation is getting unbecoming.
The work is too slow abeg. Went to Akwa Ibom for youth service in November 2012 and came back October 2013 to see little improvement. The pictures do not portray the real picture of how far they've gone with the road. A lot still needs to be done abeg.... Plus the traffic on that road na die ooo!!
But na wa ooo in 2014 Nigeria doesn't have a well functioning railway system....our leaders should hide there head in shame...Oh I forgot, They Have No Shame"
Highly impressed about the level of effort being put in the transport system in Lagos state and Kudos to Baba Raj.... But I'm most concerned about the cost and maintenance because we're still yet to recover from the toll at Lekki.
It is wel, these r things that should have bn done long time ago and now it is been done, it is bn seen as Great work in progress. If you hav bn to China, you Wil see that the light rail there and evn underground train cannot be compared to what is bn done here. However I pay my tax so I expect more.
Good job by the Lagos State Government. However, l implore them to embrace a maintenance culture in order to keep the infrastructure away from the brinks of damage.
BEAUTIFUL9JADELTABABE...good work by Lagos state government,tax payers money in action n @work so ma coutry people make una pay ya tax ohhh so that eko o ni baje o ba je ti ohh justsayibgmaownohh via ma LATEST TECHNO PHANTOM A+
When dis rail go become reality sef? moreover i hope Lagos State Govt is planning to recruit graduates to operate it in conjunction with the Chinese? This is to forestall a repeat of the failed BRT Mass transit scheme... I rest my case.
PS: Linda My comment is quite critical and would be nice to have it published pls... Thanks
it is great to see nigeria raising its game and spending a lot of money on its infracstructure,the only problem that it has is not the building of this wonderful things or places but keeping up with the maintenance after it is all done, that is what the country is failing to put in place
Linda please post my comment. Forget the beautiful part of the project they are showing u. The whole thing is an eyesore from orile to mile2 for over for years. Julius berger was handling the road project and in 9months orile to mile2 road was almost ready not until the govt took d project from them and handed it over to ccecc the Chinese firm,till date they haven't even touched d alakija to okoko part,talkless of badagry. Pls tell d govt to put more efforts on d road,the traffic in that area is gangster!! Linda help
which light dem wan take power this train.. i currently stay in the UK and light rail consumes thousands of volts...where we wan see power take make dis rail effective or na generator d train wan use?
Dear Linda, I am a big fan of yours and truly appreciate what you do. However, i beg of you, don't be an instrument in the hands of greedy politicians. I live in Festac Town, I go through Orile everyday. This project has been on for years! Little or nothing is being done. You can drive through to see for yourself. People get robbed there everyday because there are so many vacant shelters (built by the construction workers). Please stop promoting what is not.
this one no be news biko this thing has been on before i left nigeria. from mile 2 down to past doyin past costain.... i just want to hear it has been completed biko
Linda tell them to show you from alaba suru to okoko and down to agbara and badagry. This guy's are jokers. Remember they sent u some pictures sometime early last year on same project and you posted? They are still showing u the same area this year.tell them to concentrate more on the roads...no road in that area!
Light rail? Where's the light? It is supposed to work with electricity, and in this country any small rain, light goes off, roads are bad, tv,phone signal is poor! So I really don't knw how they want to pull this off!... Post my comment Linda!!! Mo-1
Linda and her APC lagos lead government are deceiving Nigerians...Lagos have IGR of over N25Billion every month plus Over $400million loan in 2013/2014...Fashola has no excuse in the numerous delays..Federal government as at last year gave out 3 lines out of its own lines to the state just to encourage them...
Lagos moving forward as usual. The rest of the country, i don't know o. I mean what is the essence of having a governor when they have no power or influence over their state? But, at the end of the day, everyone points accusing fingers at the president.
Anything fashola is on top am in love wit dat man o! Fashola for president next year o! Flashy we want pple like u in government to beta our lives, change our environment! Am proud if you hare GBU,
Haba linda dis 1 no news na. This construction don dey on pass 4 yrs n nufin is goin on presently. Mile 2 don turn robbers zone becos of am n d traffic wey e dey cause no b here. Abeg linda go see 4 ur sef b4 u post.
Project of almost 3 yrs,with nothing to show for it,snail better pass that ccecc,they are just blocking all d roads and are just in mile 2,that's with no road.that contract should have been given to Julius berger.9ja self don dy use chinko road
Good concept but all I see down the rail track is motorcycle, lorry, danfo etc riding than that rail track as well especially when there is go slow and hawkers selling gala, utc cake, show case puff puff, meatpie n pure water.
Lol! Linda, this project has been abandoned since! Abeg go and see for yourself. Armed robbers have taken over Orile, Alaba, Coker Maza maza, Agboju and other areas cos of the traffic this abandoned project has caused. The project has been on since 2009!2010! Traffic there na die!
Fashola is working, but he is just too tribalistic. LASU tution fee hick and increase of bursury for d few Lagosian from N600m to N1.3b is just one area. He does not need all those tribalist move to be great.
abeg another term for Fashy jo!

ReplyDeleteMy Brother This is surpose to be a federal project, but Fashola took it up, got Funds from world bank and this is the result of the selfless service Governor Fashola.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good development however,If they are going to function at night, they should see to the safety of passengers boarding around orile area cos they rob there at night , (most nights) the situation is getting unbecoming.
ReplyDeleteKudos to gov Babatunde Fasola more grease to his elbow.
ReplyDeleteVery good one.
ReplyDeleteIt's not building the rail or having the train, it's the maintenance that matters.. another good development from Lagos state government.
ReplyDeleteGood move, BRF!
ReplyDeleteMay God let the Lagos State govt.'s vision of transforming Lagos succeed.
ReplyDeleteThis is good. what Nigeria need is steady electricity if that will be archived in about 2 years from now that will be great.

ReplyDeleteDo not say what you don't know ma'am. It is a solo effort of Lagos state government. World Bank only gave them loan which is to be repaid
The work is too slow abeg. Went to Akwa Ibom for youth service in November 2012 and came back October 2013 to see little improvement.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures do not portray the real picture of how far they've gone with the road. A lot still needs to be done abeg.... Plus the traffic on that road na die ooo!!
