Lagos To Commence $3 Billion Green Rail Line Project By December

The Lagos State Government has announced that construction of the $3 billion Green Line rail project, connecting Marina to the Lekki corridor, is scheduled to begin in December 2025.

The announcement was made by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, in a statement posted on the official X account of the Lagos State Government on Monday.

Osiyemi noted that extensive feasibility studies and stakeholder consultations have been carried out along the Lekki-Epe corridor in preparation for the project.

The rail project is expected to take two to three years to complete and will be implemented in phases. The first phase will cover the stretch from Lekki First Tollgate to Epe, while the second phase, starting from Marina, will feature an on-water segment.

β€œThe Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Seun Osiyemi remarked that the government had done a lot of stakeholder engagements as well as a lot of feasibility studies along the Lekki-Epe Expressway Corridor because the Green Line project will commence in December.

β€œHe explained that the Green Line project would take about two to three years and would begin from Marina all the way to Epe, saying the projects would come in phases, with the first phase from Lekki First Tollgate to Epe and the second Phase from Marina would be on the water,” the statement read in part.

The announcement follows intensified enforcement along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, where authorities have cleared encroachments and restored wetlands essential to the Green Line’s right-of-way.
