President Bola Tinubu on Thursday inaugurated the Red Line Rail Project in Lagos.
The project, an intra-state rail service is aimed at improving transportation within the city, spans 37 kilometres.
In inaugurating the project, the President reiterated his administration’s commitment in improving on the nation’s infrastructural development.
He also said there is no going back on the reforms embarked upon by his government that have led to the hike of essential goods and services.
After coming to office last year President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ended a fuel subsidy and currency controls, leading to a tripling of petrol prices and a spike in living costs as the naira has slid against the dollar.
The red line will share the right-of-way with the Lagos-Kano Standard Gauge Railway.
The route will initially run from Agbado in Ogun State to Oyingbo in Lagos, with notable stations including Agbado, Iju, Agege, Ikeja, Oshodi, Mushin, Yaba, and Oyingbo.
