The ongoing Light Up Lagos initiative continues to transform major corridors across the state, and Mile 2 is now one of the latest beneficiaries. New street lighting installations are being activated along this busy axis, improving night time visibility, enhancing security, and supporting smoother traffic flow. For years, this...

In the company of the Special Adviser on the Environment, Engr. Kunle Akodu Kunle Rotimi-Akodu; the Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services, Engr. Mahmoud Adegbite Olakunle Adegbite ; the Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services, Dr. Gaji Omobolaji Tajudeen; Lagos State Taskforce Chairman, CSP Adebayo Akerele; Managing Director LAWMA Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, PhD and other Directors from the Ministry, I inspected the ongoing removal of illegal structures along the Lagos–Okokomaiko–Badagry Expressway. The exercise is being carried out by operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Taskforce, the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), LAWMA, and other relevant stakeholders. The expansive road median was deliberately constructed by the Lagos State Government to accommodate the Lagos Rail Mass Transit project. As a major gateway into Nigeria from other West African countries, this corridor is of significant economic and strategic importance and reflects the image of our state. It is therefore unacceptable for such critical public infrastructure, built with taxpayers’ resources, to be occupied by illegal traders and other unauthorised occupants. We want to assure Lagosians that the State Government will sustain regular monitoring and enforcement along this corridor. A permanent patrol team will be deployed to ensure that illegal occupants do not return, while preserving the integrity and intended purpose of this vital infrastructure. #ZeroToleranceLagos

So, this is one of the most detailed videos of the Lagos Blue Line phase 2. It’s quite lengthy, but I encourage you to watch it till the end. The prioritisation of Rail transportation by the Sanwo-Olu-led administration is beautiful to see. This particular corridor is a major international trading corridor, with many Nigerian and Asian traders operating along it. Even the road you see is expected to be transformed into a 10-lane superhighway, which the governor has already hinted at. That is why some areas, including sections occupied by traders, are being cleared. The Blue Line runs from Marina to Okokomaiko. The first phase is already operational, while work on the second phase is ongoing. The extension will serve stations at Mile 2, Festac, Alakija, Volkswagen, Alaba International Market, Trade Fair, LASU and Okokomaiko. These stations will serve traders, 9-to-5 workers, small businesses, visitors and residents along the corridor. The line covers LG areas including Amuwo-Odofin, Ojo, Oriade and Orile Iganmu, among others. Many people living along this corridor commute daily to work on the Island, while others depend on the major markets along the route. I really commend the government for this multi-billion-dollar investment in rail transportation. However, rail does not replace road infrastructure. The next administration must make road rehabilitation a major priority. In the first four years, there should be a determined effort to get Lagos roads into best conditions. Why? Because many rail users are 9-to-5 workers, small business owners and visitors, but major investors, CEOs and top executives will still drive. When you bring investors into a city, the roads, environment, landscaping, greenery, public spaces and overall appearance all matter. The Green Line is another example. Its Phase 1A will have about eight stations, with flyovers and pedestrian infrastructure helping to separate road traffic and pedestrian movement from the rail corridor totally 8 U shaped Flyovers and Pedestrian sky walks. The more quality road infrastructure we have, the better the quality of life in Lagos. This is why the next administration should prioritise roads, bridges, public transportation, cleanliness, beautification and public spaces together. Ensure the BRT works properly, ensure the trains run efficiently, but please don't neglect the environment. Sometimes Govt wonder why Lagosians don't appreciate government projects despite the huge investments being made. The answer is simple: people judge government by how their quality of life changes in real time. Lagos has a massive population and serious congestion problems. Every new road, bridge, flyover, public space or environmental improvement directly affects millions of people. Every government must study its environment and understand what its people actually need. In Lagos, road infrastructure is not a luxury,it is one of our biggest needs. So I want to encourage the government to start flagging off more road projects urgently, continue the bridges that have already started, and find ways to fund and complete them quickly eg the VGC Bridge. If we can combine the Green Line, Blue Line, Red Line, BRT, new roads, bridges, flyovers and a cleaner, better-maintained environment, the quality of life in Lagos will skyrocket. This government is doing a lot. Let’s get the remaining basics right too. God bless our government, and God bless the good people of Lagos. 🙏🏾🇳🇬 Babajide Sanwo-Olu Obafemi Hamzat Damilola Sonayon James Seyi Tinubu ENIOLA BADMUS I am Dayo Amusa Lagos Min of the Environment and Water Resources The Lagos State Govt LASEPA Oluwaseun Osiyemi Tokunbo Wahab Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure Funke Akindele Oluwaseun Osiyemi Kolawole Ojelabi Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority LAMATA LAWMA LAWMA Customer Care 📷: A detailed documentary of the Lagos Blue Line phase 2 running from Mile 2- Okoko 🚅
