The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) and the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) recently held a stakeholder engagement session as part of the African Development Bank’s appraisal of the proposed Lagos Rail Mass Transit Green Line.
The appraisal covers the full Green Line project, with particular attention to Phase 1A, planned between the Lekki First Toll Gate and Sangotedo along the Lekki–Epe corridor.
The original 2019 Green Line alignment covered Marina, Victoria Island, Lekki 1, Ajah, Lekki 2, Ogombo, Elepetu, Eluju, Lekki Airport and the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
Discussions covered the proposed alignment, implementation strategy, land acquisition, compensation arrangements and traffic management during construction. The AfDB is assessing the project’s readiness and compliance with its environmental, social and institutional requirements ahead of a potential financing decision.
