Lagos-Ibadan Rail: Station Construction work in Ebute Metta, Lagos.

Construction has commenced on the Ebute Metta Station. The Line will start at the Apapa Harbour. Ebute Metta will be the second Station, starting at the Railway Compound in Ebute Metta, where the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Main Station (the biggest of the 10 Stations) is going to be.

The Lagos end of the Corridor will involve substantial demolition work (and payment of compensation where required). We hope this won’t cause delay, Lagos is always the issue whenever construction wants to take place.

The convoy of the minister moves to Kajola, in Ogun State. The Yard where soil testing is done is located here. There will also be a Railway Station here. Earthworks going on currently, and from there, the next stop is Papalanto. That’s the HQ of the Project: Project Management, Manufacturing & Fabrication, etc.

There will be 4 #LagosIbadanRail Stations in Lagos State: Apapa, Ebute Metta, Agege, and Agbado.

Ebute Metta will be the biggest, the Flagship Station for the Line.

Apapa Station will have a Hotel & a Shopping Mall on the premises.

These are some of the pictures from the site…
