Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has taken a test ride on the Lagos Red Line rail, which is slated for commissioning by President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, February 29, 2024.
The pivotal test ride commenced at the iconic Ikeja Train Station and terminated in Iju on Saturday, February 24.
The Governor carried out an inspection of the rail tracks and the rail corridors during the trip.
Sanwo-Olu also inspected some comfort facilities, including the train’s cooling system, handrails, cushioned seats, and in-built safety features of the wagons.
In a post on his X account on Saturday evening, the Governor said the project represents a meaningful step towards a connected and sustainable Lagos.
“Today, I was at the Ikeja Train Station for the pivotal test run of the brand-new trains dedicated to our transformative Red Line Rail Project.
“The Red Line Rail Project which I performed the groundbreaking on April 15th, 2021 is a momentous step towards a connected and sustainable Lagos,” the post partially read.
