The Lagos State Government has taken delivery of two new train sets for the blue line rail.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the disclosure in a post on his Twitter page.
He said the trains have been been cleared at the port of entry, and have been moved to the National Theatre station where they have been lifted onto the elevated rail tracks.
“I am indeed glad to inform the good people of Lagos that with the arrival of these train sets, we’re on course with our plans to change the face of the rail transport system in Lagos State.
“A Greater Lagos is indeed Rising,” Sanwo-Olu said.
With the new additions, the number of trains for the blue line is now three.
President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to commission the trains at the end of the month.
