We were on tracks from Orile-Iganmu to Alaba Station and to Mile 2 Station and we were all taken around the stations which we called concourse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the Iganmu Station, it is just one but Alaba and Mile 2 are double stations. Finally, we took the train back to National Art Theatre where we all inspected a brand new train that is a typical train that will be used on the Blue Line. This is the first time I\u2019m taking you on the Blue Line to see where we are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Blue Line terminates at Marina, at the back in Marina, it is an elevated station and it stretches out to outer Marina and where the Governor\u2019s residence is, it is where it terminates. At the end of the station, you could see that the track is broken into two bridges. Why we have to have the backtrack is for parking,\u201d the governor explained.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Sanwo-Olu commended the contractors for working throughout the week, projecting that the rail section would be completed in about three weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are happy that the contractors are working seven days a week. The major aspect apart from the Marina Station is a sea crossing from Eko Bridge to join the outer Marina. They have to finish it in about three months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time we will be coming back in July, the concrete construction should have been completed. It will just be finishing inside the train stations and the terminal buildings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m also happy that we have purchased additional trains. We will be going to China in May or June just to have a look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the promises that we gave you, the Red and the Blue Lines, we have a lot to clean up and a lot of retooling and fencing, we are on track and more importantly, the third rail which is the power tracks and it will be done and I\u2019m happy you have been able to go on the journey with us. It was an experience which I believe will be with you for a very long time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday took a two and a half hours tour of the ongoing construction of the Blue Line Rail, assuring that the deadline was set for the first quarter of 2023 for the rail line to commence operational service was sacrosanct.
