The Lagos Metro line, which has been under construction for several years, is expected to be completed soon. Work on the project has been expedited since Sanwo-Olu took over the office, and there is a probability\u00a0that the Metro lines will start operating before the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

In February 2021, the Lagos State Government announced that the Blue and Red Lines would be open for use by December 2022.<\/p>\n

Joe Igbokwe, the special adviser to the Lagos State Government on drainage and water resources, recently gave an update about the Lagos Metro line project on his Facebook page. He asked if Nigerians had heard that the Lagos State government had bought new trains from the USA to be used on the Lagos metro line in December.<\/p>\n

He noted that the former governor of the state and current minister for housing, Babajide Fashola, started the project and it was given expedited attention by Sanwo-Olu. Joe Igbokwe also gave credit to the President Buhari administration for assisting the project with the sum of N45 billion.<\/p>\n
