The Lagos State government has taken delivery of three brand-new train sets of 12 coaches for the Lagos Blue Line Rail.

The State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the announcement on Thursday in a message.

He said, “I’m happy to share that we have taken delivery of three brand-new train sets of 12 coaches in total for the Lagos Blue Line Rail.

“This means shorter wait times and more comfortable trips for everyone using the Blue Line. It’s a step forward in our efforts to make daily commute in Lagos less stressful and more reliable.

“We’re not stopping here. Work is ongoing to extend the Blue Line all the way to Okokomaiko, and we’re aiming to finish that by 2026. I know it’s been a long time coming, but I truly believe we’re building something that will change how we move around this city for the better.

The governor however thanked Lagosians for being patient and hopeful.
