The contract for Phase 2 of the Red Rail Line under the Lagos Rail Mass Transit system has been signed.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated that because to financial restrictions, the second phase would extend from Oyingbo to the National Theatre rather than the Marina as originally intended.
Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, Managing Director of LAMATA, signed on behalf of the Lagos State government, while the Chairman of CCECC signed for the corporation.
The first phase is currently being inaugurated. It will be carried out by President Bola Tinubu.
The president came at approximately 12.10 p.m., escorted by Governor Sanwo-Olu, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, and Principal Private Secretary Hakeem Muri-Okunola.
He was welcomed by Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, and some other governors – Abdul Rahman AbdulRazak (Kwara), Abiodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Usman Ododo (Kogi), Prof. Babagana Zulum (Borno), Hope Uzodimma (IMO), among other dignitaries.
