IyaIode,

All this Fashola comment are political gibberish,

The rail project is World Bank Assisted project, thou requires FG support.

If we take our time to critically examine Fashola's many comments you will see contradiction.

IyaIode:
The light rail is a mass transit system being developed by
the state. It is still under construction after gulping billions
of naira.
Speaking during his traditional 100 days account rendering
exercise at the LTV ground in Ikeja, the governor urged
Lagosians to vote for the APC governorship candidate in the
state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, saying he has all it takes to
continue all the projects he might not be able to complete.

Blaming lack of federal government support for the
uncompleted rail project, Fashola said all over the world,
when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos
is doing, their central governments support them morally
and financially.

He said the federal government has failed to support Lagos
and Rivers States which embarked on light rail projects
because they are states administered by the opposition
party.
“If Lagosians vote for General Muhammadu Buhari next
month, the new federal government will assist Ambode in
this regard,” he said. Fashola said no government can
complete all projects.

IyaIode:

I don't think the rail was ever meant to get to badagry.

Omo Iya,

If someone promised you nothing but to boost your trade, wont you be happy?

And if the person now failed in his promise, and keep shifting the goal post unnecessarily, how would you feel ?

One of the many reason I hate ACN turned APC. (too much lies)

We are getting closer to the truth.

Why then do you think the project has stalled, the federal government at the time didn't deny fashola's claim

IlekeHD,

I do have attachment to PDP having financed grassroots politicians in my constituency.

But I see the truth, but our people are not honest with the truth.

Lagos State is highly geared, the debt is too higher compared to the claimed projects.

Ema jeki a lo ila kuro le ko, eko o kola.

The debt and the corresponding projects does not match.

I think we need to float another political party in Southwest.

I'd prefer a new political party. I'm sick of this CHANGE.

We shouldn't be contented with the performance of our governors, we should keep asking for more because SW should have developed past this stage we are.

Oodua Development Political Party (ODPP) would be nice.

Yoruba Interest Comes First, To Hell With The Saboteurs (Both PDP and APC).

God Bless Yorubaland.

IyaIode:

Are sa and ekoi le1 have created enough threads on fashola's projects. I disagree with you

Firefire:



Unless it was tactically changed, I am very sure it was originally planned to get to Badagry.

I can call my Egun brother (Gunuvi) to confirm, but let me check my news achieve...

BRB...

IlekeHD:


Billions of naira, yet still uncompleted.

IyaIode:


I think you are mixing up the rail and road projects. I may be wrong though.

Waiting to learn

Firefire:


If we are all open to learn the issue and the discrepancy in Fashola's statement? I can open the case and link the errors for our study.

The rail tracks have been laid from Agboju to Iganmu. Concrete pillars to extend the rail tracks across the canal linking Iganmu and Lagos Island are currently being installed.

My grouse with them is that the pace of work is just too bloody slow!!

Since rail tracks have been laid from Iganmu to Agboju, can't they commence train operations on that axis, pending when the other leg would be completed? It would reduce the horrible traffic on that axis.

I have spent 3-4 hours in traffic (one-way) on that road before. Believe me, it is no joke!

Aareonakakanfo:



Hmmmmmn does it mean there won't be rail from Mile 2 to badagry?

You are right... the rail terminate in Okokomaiko, while the 10 lanes continue to Badagry.

There is the Blue Line from Okokomaiko to Marina; the Red Line from Agbado to Marina via Iddo and Muritala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA); the Green Line from Marina to Lekki (Airport) ; the Yellow Line from Otta to Iddo and the Purple Line from Redeem to Ojo.

There are also the Orange Line from Redeem to Marina and the Brown Line from Mile 12 to Marina.

In this layout, there are the North-South corridor between Agbado and Iddo along the Nigerian Railway corridor; the Eastern corridor to serve the Lekki to Epe axis; and the western corridor to serve the Mile2 – Okokomaiko axis.

The Blue Line, a 27 km rail road with thirteen stations from Okokomaiko to Marina is currently undergoing construction right in the middle of Lagos-Badagry Expressway which government is currently expanding and redeveloping into a ten-lane international gateway. Apart from rail, the infrastructure design also includes provision for BRT and multimode integration with Non-Motorized Transport such as pedestrian walkways and overhead bridges for safe access by passengers to rail and bus stations.

Work commenced in August 2009 for construction of the Blue Line rail infrastructure, awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) as a design and build contract. CCECC prepared the detailed plan, design and construction works for the rail infrastructure. These works includes stations, roadbed, bridges, permanent way (P-way) tracks works, pedestrian ways and other associated fixed infrastructure.

“The first phase is between National theatre and Mile 2; that was actually awarded in 2010 and we are hoping that by 2014 that phase will be finished and then move on from Mile 12 to Okokomaiko and then come back to National Theatre to construct the infrastructure to Marina.”

IyaIode:

Maybe in the future by its not viable at the moment especially when other places are begging for it

Aareonakakanfo:



Hmmmmmn does it mean there won't be rail from Mile 2 to badagry?

IyaIode:

Do you have any idea of the cost of this blue line

Aareonakakanfo:



Then how come that lane is the most developed if they don't have any plans to include rail

IyaIode:

Give ambode time.

God bless you fro bringing this up issue.

The space of work and the shift in delivery dates by Fashola is one of the many reason I stay in the opposition.

People living in that part of Lagos are suffering... daily and per hour while passing through that region.

Kindly let us restrict all PARTISAN views to the numerous partisan boards

Here, let's keep it purely as an avenue to advance the yoruba tribe's culture, values & progress.. Thx.
