The National Chairman of The Mandate Movement, Cardinal James Omolaja Odunmbaku, popularly known as Baba Eto welcomes the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu to Lagos State as he commissions the Red Line train on Thursday, 29th February, 2024.
The train is the first phase of the project, which will run from Agbado in Ogun State to Oyingbo in the heart of Lagos. The train, when fully operational, will run 37 trips and convey about 500,000 passengers daily.
In a statement on Wednesday signed by The Movement’s National Director ICT and Media, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, Odunmbaku said the project is an indication that the APC government both in Lagos and at national level means well for Nigeria.
He said the project when commissioned by the President on Thursday will reduce drastically travel time on the corridor, abate stress-induced health challenges and increase the productive capacity of the economy.
Odunmbaku added that it will also reduce traffic gridlock, road accidents and ensure the safety of commuters.
He therefore welcomes the country’s leader to Lagos where he governed for eight years and wished him a fruitful stay.
