The Lagos State Government has confirmed that construction of the Green Line Rail project will start in December 2025, in line with a statement in April that the project would begin before the end of the year.
The Commissioner for transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, during an assessment of the corridor stated that the 70-kilometre Green Line will connect Marina to the Lekki Free Trade Zone, featuring 17 stations along a mix of elevated and at-grade tracks.
Osiyemi said the route will pass through key areas including Victoria Island, Ajah, Sangotedo, and the Lekki-Epe corridor, which he said will be completed in two to three years and divided into two phases.
The first phase covers Lekki First Tollgate to Epe, while the second phase will start at Marina and include an on-water segment.
Once finished, the Green Line will improve transportation between Lagos Island and the rapidly developing Lekki area, easing traffic congestion and boosting economic activity in the region.
