The Governor, in a statement on Wednesday, expressed pride at the progress made since the commissioning of the project, noting that the Blue Line has operated safely without a single accident.

According to him, trains on the corridor now run every ten minutes, completing more than 90 trips daily and significantly reducing travel time for commuters.

He reiterated that the state government will continue to improve public transport infrastructure to make movement across Lagos easier, safer, and faster.
