Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has outlined a number of projects that Lagosians should expect from his administration in the next two years, even as he declared that the state had already been turned to a huge construction site, urging Lagosians to bear with his administration over some discomfort being experienced due to ongoing construction projects in the state.
The governor made this known, on Thursday, in his address at the State House, Alausa Ikeja, to mark his 731 days in office.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has flagged off the construction of the 37-km Rail Mass Transit Red Line, which will traverse from Agbado to Marina, moving over 1 million commuters daily.
This is as the state started the compensation of identified project-affected persons of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red Line project with the Governor handing over cheques to displaced property owners who were affected by the right-of-way.
The groundbreaking ceremony which took place at the Ikeja Train Station on Thursday was witnessed by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, who was represented by the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Bashir Jamoh, and the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.

Lagos State Governor Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, yesterday, presented cheques of various sums to 263 landlords and tenants affected by the ongoing construction of the Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line Project in the state.
Recall that the LRMT dream began in 1983 during the tenure of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, but was truncated by the then Federal Government. Sanwo-Olu has vowed to ensure that the Blue Line and the Red Line are completed to the memory of the late Jakande.
The 37-kilometre Rail Mass Transit Red Line, which will traverse from Agbado to Marina, is estimated to move more than one million commuters daily.
