Femi Otedola, billionaire businessman, has commended
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, for the successful completion of the
Lagos blue rail project.
Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, flagged off the commercial train
service operations in the state.
The 27-kilometer rail line, which runs from Mile 2 to
Marina, is the first phase of the Lagos rail mass transit system.
Otedola, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said the project
should make every resident of the state proud.
“This should gladden
and make every Lagosian proud. This is because the idea of governance is to
build world class infrastructure for the people to benefit,” he said.
“The governor is showing uncommon leadership, focus
determination, willpower to deliver even in the face of very limited resources
available to him. He has remained undeterred and unwavering.
“This particular rail, even though it took so long to
complete, he has shown tremendous courage that he is capable of doing the heavy
lifting.
“This is a signature project that he is bequeathing to
Lagosians. To even think that the red line is coming up soon is also something
to rejoice about.”
Otedola asked other states to join Lagos in his
infrastructure drive.
He also called all well-meaning Nigerians to continue to
support the Sanwo-Olu-led government as it strives to change the face of Lagos.
The blue line rail project was constructed by the Lagos
state government and supervised by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport
Authority (LAMATA), as part of the development and improved intermodal
transport system in the state.
