A 31-km redline passengers rail service from Oyingbo, Lagos State to Agbado in Ogun State is set to commence in the first quarter of 2023.
Disclosing this during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the rail project between the two states, Secretary to the Ogun Government (SSG), Tokunbo Talabi, said the project is another significant achievement in the series of developments engendered by the Lagos/Ogun joint commission.
He added that the development was another achievement from the robust understanding and synergy between the governors of Lagos and Ogun states in taking advantage of their proximity to better their economies and the lives of their citizens.
Talabi said significant achievements had been made by the two states through the Lagos/Ogun joint commission in the areas of waterways and security, saying: “This is yet another testament of more initiatives to be undertaken by the joint commission.”
The SSG said: “The two states have the understanding that what benefits one, benefits the other and what brings convenience to one will mean the same for the other due to their proximity. Integration of the transport system between the two states is highly probable for the benefits of both states.”
