The Blue Line runs on a 9km bridge that crosses the lagoon at its deepest draught since it's close to the Port, making the bridge the third longest bridge after the October Bridge in Egypt and the Third Mainland Bridge in Nigeria. But before the Lagos Metro line is the Abuja metro line that connects the airport to the City centre running over 30km, completed over 5yrs ago. For Lagos, the sections are subdivided into colours covering specific sections on the state, the next in line is the Red Line which covers 37km with 13 stations and is currently at over 92% completion and projected to be ready before year-end. Lastly, both Blue Line and Red Lines are directly funded by the State Government of Lagos, and not via any infrastructure loan from China.

@heyniran You're absolutely right.. the RED line will piggyback on Nigeria railways' Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge track hence running from Agbado to Oyingbo, and so Lagos only had to build stations along the corridor.

Great job you're doing! with visionary leaders like the Lagos state government, Nigeria and other African countries will get it right in the years ahead. 🇳🇬
My brother, we Nigerians are not over excited, because it’s a project we were over due to have in Nigeria, Nigeria is a country with a lot of resources that no African countries should see our back, just like In entertainment industry, look at South Africa well developed, a country that was struggling with apartheid, they were fighting and destroying properties, while we were free and doing nothing to our economy, the politicians and military were busy stealing money and buying properties abroad, sending their children to overseas for education, medical treatment, and leaving our education and medical facilities deplorable, that’s why our youths are running away and the best brains leave the country, please I couldn’t continue staying and watching what was happening in that country, I had to leave the country. I see Tinubu coming to America to tell Nigerians who are established there to come back home, with all the properties he acquired from being a Governor in Lagos, is that how Lagos should look like, no Nigeria will leave a country that he is making 7million naira a month to Nigeria where he or she is going to be paid peanut.
The light rail project in Lagos are colour-coded. They are 7 lines in numbers that'll criss-cross the Lagos metropolitan city, to be completed in phases with the blue line been the 1st, followed by the Red line etc. These lines comprises of the Blue Line (Marina to Okokomaiko); Red Line (Agbado to Marina); Purple Line (Redeemed to Ojo); Yellow Line (Otta to Iddo); Brown Line (Mile 12 to Marina); Orange Line (Redeemed to Marina) and Green Line (Marina to Lekki).

Pretty well, Nigeria is setting the pace for some of these stuffs to come to reality, other ECOWAS countries should key in to fast track progress
Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Nigeria and Ghana are brothers and Nigerians love their Ghanaian brothers and sisters. Much love to our Ethiopian and South African brothers and sisters.

This is not the only train station we have in Nigeria , there is inter state train from Abuja to kaduna , Ibadan to Lagos , Warri to itakpe this have be operational since even before this was done by Lagos state so it’s not the first train in Nigeria
It's not a light rail, it's a full fledged Metro; there's a difference. Lagos has 7 planned intra-city rail lines, 2 out of the 7 (the blue and the red lines) are metro lines, while the remaining 5 are made up of light and mono rails. Kindly take note! The Lagos redline metro is likely to start operation by the end of this year as well.
Nigeria is not competing with Ghana!!! This train project is not even Nigeria's federal government project. This is solely a project by a State in Nigeria (Lagos State). Check Abuja train too....
I don’t know why you guys keep comparing Nigeria to Ghana. Nigeria’s telecommunications sector alone is bigger than Ghana’s economy let alone compared to a state like Lagos or the whole 9ja.
@@kennykross3306 no sir, the GDP of Lagos is $136.6 Billion dollar, contributing to 30% of Nigeria GDP and Ghana’s gdp is just within $70-80 Billion dollar. The telecommunications sector of the Nigeria economy is bigger the Ghana’s economy as a country too
Lagos red line should be completed by December. Also bear in mind that this project was not financially sponsored by the federal govt. it’s was financed by Lagos state govt with internally generated revenue. They are so many project going on in Lagos at the moment and they cost billions of dollars. Also Abuja has its own Light rail,and it’s was completed in 2019 .
Saludos desde Panamá. Acá queremos hacer una linea de tren desde ciudad de Panamá hasta David a casi 500 kilometros de distancia y cerca a la frontera con Costa Rica. Esperemos que Ghana haga su metro, tren ligero, tranvia o monorriel. Pero que haga algo para mejorar el transporte en sus ciudades.
That blue line rail costs that much because (1) Lagos was already built up (2)Houses and lands along the route had to be bought and paid for by LASG. (3) Court cases (4) Long elevated sections across the water bodies of Lagos and the Atlantic Ocean. (5) Cost of removing shipwrecks under the Atlantic Ocean (6) Many other challenges.
The lagos Red line is done and will soon start operation by december this year and it's faster than the blue light rail. We also have a proposed green, yellow and purple light rail in the future of lagos rail map, it will decongest lagos traffic in like 10 years from now. But i heard the next administration of lagos will start the purple line rail and the green line rail
One thing i love about Nigerians is that they ask for more from their leaders unlike Ghanaians who are satisfied with what their govt does for them. Nigerians are Oliver twist. Proud to vbe from both countries.

Ghana is blessed with tons of natural resources and is quite capable of achieving this kind of project if the resources are appropriately distributed and managed….Nigerian government just recently started doing some of these projects because the youths are no longer keeping quiet…Ghanaian citizens should demand for more because Ghana has more than enough resources to deliver some of these important projects…I rest my case…
Not nigerian government. Lagos state government. Each state in nigeria has their own government. Infrastructural projects within the states is the responsibilities of the state government the governor and his cabinet.
Stop the COMPARISON. NIGERIA IS NOT COMPETING OR COMPARING WITH GHANA. Nigeria is moving way ahead. It is only Ghana that has gotten it into it's head that it can compete with Nigeria. Ghana still does not get it that they can't compete with Nigeria. We don't say NAIJA TO THE WORLD, without a reason. NIGERIA is trying to step up and see how it can stand shoulder to shoulder with first world countries. There are countries where you will see Nigerians and and not Ghanaians.

Just my unpopular opinion, let's start the road network from within. GH should focus on the intra-country road network and drainage for now; we don't even need interchange yet (overpass will do for now).
Lagos is the state of the current President Tinubu. He planned this and his chosen successors continued the project. This is why he's now the President of Nigeria, he has results to show for his work. We also have similar stuff in Abuja and Portharcourt at a lesser extent, Kano also planning theirs. Ghana can't compete with Nigeria, we are not competetors, the size and population of Nigeria is overwhelming. Population of Lagos is a third of the whole Ghana, so maybe the money will be well spent somewhere else for Ghana.
@@okangba1 Lagos is the former capital of Nigeria and commercial capital of Nigeria let that sink in your empty head .

Nigerians are not in competition it’s Ghanaians who talk about a competition. Ghana just happens to be an anglophone country we love. Lately however, Nigerians are now wary of Ghanaians because of the intense negativity.
NB. The Lagos Light Rail was not built by the Federal Government of Nigeria. It was built and is still being built by Lagos state government. So Greater Regional government should do the same

@@toontumnetwork I agree with you, mass transit is meant to ease the suffering of poor masses, because it’s what government created to ease transportation of his poor masses, because they provide the price at subsidized rate, for example, Lagos state government put the price at 50% lower to help Lagosians..
FCT also has light rail, We also have other rail project on going from Southeast to South South Nigeria, Lagos still has red and green line coming up. I can’t wait for the rail to be connected to other Africa countries like Benin republic and togo..
That's a state government project. Lagos State. No federal government input. Check Idu railway project to see federal government project. I actually don't understand why you always want to compare Ghana to Nigeria? Ghana is doing well on her own. But to compete with Nigeria will only bring sadness to the heart of many. Ghana, population and economy, is just like a state in Nigeria. You are doing well in your way. How do you feel if Sao Tome and Principe is comparing themselves to Ghana?
Don't mind these people who always compare Nigeria to Ghana. They don't know Lagos alone is like a country in many of these countries. They don't know that state project isn't federal project.
It's important to know that that $1.2 billion is severely inflated by the people in government. They pad up budget estimates with seventy percent more money. It's the worst kind of corruption. China built a 27-kilometer rail line with less than $350 million dollars and Nigeria built theirs with $1.4 billion dollars. That's crazy.
@@George-zd7muNope. The one in Senegal is an inter State. It's like the Lagos - Ibadan train service. This one is a metro. Metro don't have toilets, it's a hop in and hop out. The train in Senegal is for long distance travels, if you see the interior you'll see the difference. There is room for standing in a Metro line, but you can not stand in Senegal's train cos it's a long distance travel train.
Well done guy, we comparing ourselves is sometimes making us competitive in some AREA.i remember when Ghana renovated it kotoka airport, THE then government of president GOODLUCK Jonathan,he came up with a plaster to renovate all the federal airports in the Nigeria, like ABUJA, KANO, porthacourt, CALABAR, enugu and LAGOS, with other individual state started upgrading their airports to international, states like Akwa ibom and Anambra who built a new international airport. ABUJA also has inter inter city rail, though yet to be complet
Please stop comapring Ghana with Nigeria. You should compare with just Lagos. The rail itself is fully funded by the Lagos state govt and has abt 5 different phases,blue line,red line will start before December,its about 96% completed,then the green line,purple line etc. PS: lts an electric train too and its capable of also using DMU engine as well....a fantastic move from Lagos. There is also a 30km completed in Abj,that should start operations by next year,Rivers state also started one and its still unfinished. There are mini countries in Nigeria capable of holding their own and yes we are all moving up positively together.
This is actually Lagos state project, not the whole nation, moreover, Nigeria is already building inter city train as well which is currently working from Lagos to Ibadan and eventually to the entire region in the country; you could check it out.

Always competitions Ghana and Nigeria. Both are African countries and should work together. In Europe all the rail lines in every country are connected with each other which boosts economic growth. Africa we can do the same.
The light rail - is not a federal government initiative. It's the responsibility of Lagos state - which has the most infrastructure in Nigeria and is allegedly the fourth largest GDP in Africa. This rail line has been on the cards for over a decade - Lagos state at one time wanted to buy second hard carriages from New York - I think that was under the Fashola administration. Time has gone by and they realised they could get a far better deal from the Chinese, who can build metro rail and intercity rail in their sleep. The design, construction is Chinese led, the funding is Chinese. The supervision and training is Chinese - in short it's a Chinese project that Lagos state where able to negotiate.
Then Lagos state governor should be hailed. He's done for his state what governments haven't done for their nations. Pls subscribe and help me grow. Thanks for your input.

Lagos state Government is still under the Nigerian Government umbrella. What you should say is that it's not a Federal Government project. So he didn't say anything wrong.
Great job, just one critical information on your report. This light rail is not the Nigeria government that made it happen, it is Lagos state that built it. It is only sub national government in the world that have embarked on such project.
Cyrus my dear brother. The population of Lagos is 22 million people, not 15.8 and the Blue Line Rail is solely funded by the Lagos State Government, (a Sub-National) and not the Federal Government of Nigeria. I love and appreciate you my brother.
Lol, the blue rail in Lagos is owned by Lagos State. The Nigerian government never contributed a dime to it. The FG of Nigeria rail line was constructed in 2015. And it runs from Lagos to Ibadan. From Abuja to Kaduna, another from Edo State to Delta State. Anything within the state is done by the state government. And anything that connects two states is done by the FG. That is what the law says. Another one is being constructed from Katsina state to Niger Republic, the ancestral home of Former president Muhammed Buhari.

Like he said in the video, the cost of the blue line shows that it's not something Ghana can just decide to do. Now if Lagos State budget can become an headache for another national body is that a just or fair competition?

That blue line rail costs that much because
(1) Lagos was already built up
(2)Houses and lands along the route had to be bought and paid for by LASG.
(3) Court cases
(4) Long elevated sections across the water bodies of Lagos and the Atlantic Ocean.

The light rail - is not a federal government initiative. It's the responsibility of Lagos state - which has the most infrastructure in Nigeria and is allegedly the fourth largest GDP in Africa. This rail line has been on the cards for over a decade - Lagos state at one time wanted to buy second hard carriages from New York - I think that was under the Fashola administration. Time has gone by and they realised they could get a far better deal from the Chinese, who can build metro rail and intercity rail in their sleep.
The design, construction is Chinese led, the funding is Chinese. The supervision and training is Chinese - in short it's a Chinese project that Lagos state where able to negotiate.

Lagos state Government is still under the Nigerian Government umbrella. What you should say is that it's not a Federal Government project. So he didn't say anything wrong.
Great job, just one critical information on your report. This light rail is not the Nigeria government that made it happen, it is Lagos state that built it. It is only sub national government in the world that have embarked on such project.
Cyrus my dear brother. The population of Lagos is 22 million people, not 15.8 and the Blue Line Rail is solely funded by the Lagos State Government, (a Sub-National) and not the Federal Government of Nigeria. I love and appreciate you my brother.
Lol, the blue rail in Lagos is owned by Lagos State. The Nigerian government never contributed a dime to it. The FG of Nigeria rail line was constructed in 2015. And it runs from Lagos to Ibadan. From Abuja to Kaduna, another from Edo State to Delta State. Anything within the state is done by the state government. And anything that connects two states is done by the FG. That is what the law says. Another one is being constructed from Katsina state to Niger Republic, the ancestral home of Former president Muhammed Buhari.
