Sanwo-Olu, who was full of praise for Mr. President, noted that the procurement of the additional coaches was made possible through the former financial support.
According to Sanwo-Olu, “We thank everyone that has been part of the journey, particularly Mr President Bola Tinubu, for his financial support towards the realization of this project.
“We thanked President Bola Tinubu for the support, including the funding that helped the state government procure the coaches for the blue rail line.
“Before the end of the year, we are going to see new coaches on the red line, which would be bigger and slicker.
“Some of you can come around when the trains are being lifted on the track, and when it is done, it will not disrupt the current train operations.
“It is a brand new train of coaches. Phase 2 of the blue rail is on track and schedule.
“It is a lot of money. The main operations as a means of public transportation have come to stay in Lagos. We are already increasing the capacity.
