The Lagos State Government announced today that it has signed an agreement with the Federal Government’s Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) to commence exploratory work on the Green Line project.

Gbenga Omotoso, the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday.

He noted that, fully completed, the 68-kilometre Green Line will connect Marina to the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

He recalled that in 2024, the State Government completed 36 road projects, including bridges, link bridges, and pedestrian infrastructure, noting that it also has over 51 other road projects that are at various stages of development across all five divisions of the State.

According to the Government spokesperson, these include the Arowojobe Link Bridge and Approach Road, Mende, Maryland; Sand Zero Road, Oyingbo; Platinum Road, Igbokusu; Babafemi Dada Bridge and adjoining roads— Yinka Folarin, Jamiu Lawal, and Shalom Academy Road Network, Samuel Ekundayo Road, and Abaranje Road.

Others are Eluku Street/Mosafejo, Agbowa Ikosi, Adamo-Akanun-Agunfoye Lugbusi Roads, Oba Dosunmu Road, Ikeja GRA, Oduduwa Way and Oduduwa Crescent, Ikeja GRA, Sasegbon Street, Ikeja GRA, Alternative Route to Admiralty Circle Toll Plaza, Sobo Arobiodu Street, Ikeja GRA and Lekki-Epe Expressway (Phase IIA and Phase IIB).
Under the Bus Reform Initiative (BRI), the current administration is building new BRT bus terminals, with projects in varying states of completion. The detailed engineering design and construction of the Abule Egba Bus Terminal are going smoothly.

Similarly, construction on the Iyana Ipaja Bus Terminal is progressing, while the Ajah Bus Terminals and Depots, as well as the Addo Road Junction Improvement and Pedestrian Bridge, are nearing completion. Furthermore, building of BRT infrastructure along the Lagos-Badagry Motorway is underway, with the segment between Doyin Orile and Mile 2 currently under construction.

The commissioner averred that history was made last year with the completion and commissioning of the first phase of the 27-kilometre Red Line rail. This rail line, on which passenger operations commenced on October 15, 2024, is expected to serve 500,000 passengers per day.

The initial phase covers a 27-kilometre stretch from Agbado in Ogun State to Oyingbo in Lagos, with eight stations at key areas (Agbado, Iju, Agege, Ikeja, Oshodi, Mushin, Yaba, and Oyingbo), four vehicular overpasses, three pedestrian bridges, and integration with Ikeja, Oshodi, Yaba and Oyingbo Bus Terminals, among other features.

Omotoso went on to say that the administration’s objective is to connect the Red Line with the Blue Line, and that work has already begun on the second phase of the Blue Line, which will extend it from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko.
