Lagos State’s dedication to cutting-edge, climate-smart transportation was reaffirmed when Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu presented the Lagos Greenline Railway, better known as Project Green, to foreign partners and investors during the Africa Investment Forum in Rabat.
Eko Hot News reports that the governor met with key stakeholders, including representatives of the Federal Government, MOFI, and LAMATA, where he highlighted the progress Lagos has made in building a fully integrated urban mobility system.
According to Sanwo-Olu, the Green Line is designed to complement the already-launched Blue and Red Rail Lines. The project forms a crucial part of LAMATA’s Strategic Transport Master Plan, aimed at delivering a seamless, environmentally responsible transit network for Africa’s fastest-growing megacity.
The 70-kilometre electric rail line will stretch from Marina to the Lekki Free Trade Zone, easing traffic pressure while supporting the expansion of commercial and industrial developments along the Lekki–Epe corridor.
The governor noted that international financiers have shown “remarkable and unexpected enthusiasm” for the project, a signal of growing global confidence in Lagos’ governance structure, economic prospects, and infrastructural direction.
Sanwo-Olu emphasised that Lagos is positioning itself at the forefront of modern transportation on the African continent. He reaffirmed the state’s commitment to delivering efficient, connected, and future-ready mobility solutions.
With Project Green gaining momentum, the state government says it is moving decisively towards a cleaner, smarter, and more accessible transport future for millions of residents.
“Lagos is shaping the future of urban mobility in Africa,” the governor said, “and we are moving forward with purpose and momentum.”
