Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) was committed to compensating owners of affected structures. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had last week flagged-off the Lagos Rail Mass track project, which stretches from Agbado to Marina corridor. He said the construction of the rail line spans from the National Theatre via Ijora to Marina. This section is a 5.5km elevated rail route that spans over the Lagos Lagoon (sea crossing section) through Ebute-Ero to Elegbata and Marina. He added that the state is building alternative seaports at Lekki and Badagry to decongest Apapa and its environs of persistent gridlock.
