Lagos Light Rail: 17 years after, failed promises, rot, neglect trail project

Lagos Light Rail: 17 years after, failed promises, rot, neglect trail project More than a decade since the construction of the Lagos Light Rail has commenced, it has failed to see the light of the day. 10 min read The poor state of the road, occasioned by the neglect of the 27km-long Marina-Okokomaiko section of the Lagos light rail project, mirrors the rot that is beneath the façade of “excellence” which successive governments in Lagos have continued to pride themselves with since 1999. While similar projects elsewhere have since been built and expanded beyond their original corridors, the Lagos light rail has suffered neglect after 17 years of failed promises. Again, apart from the accountability issue raised in connection with the discrepancies in the funding costs, the failure of the government to complete the rail project in almost two decades has had negative effects on the socio-economic life of Lagos residents.
