The Lagos State Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Green Line Rail Mass Transit Project expected to cover the Lekki corridor.
The state’s Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
He was responding to questions raised by members of the Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Transportation during their courtesy visit to the ministry.
The lawmakers were led to the ministry by the committee chairman, Mr. Temitope Adewale.

The commissioner said the addition of the Green Line to the Blue Line which had transported over two million passengers since inception would significantly improve the state’s transportation network.
He added that plan for the second phase of the Blue Line from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko was underway.
“The ministry is currently working on creating two interchanges to ensure the interconnectivity of the modes especially in areas where all of the available modes exist (road, water, and rail).
“The interconnectivity of the modes was deliberate to ensure that there is no lacuna in the implementations of these plans,” Osiyemi added.
