Before the inauguration, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu launched a test run of the project which is designed to run from Mile 2 (on the mainland) to Marina (on the island).
According to Akinajo, the test run activities would soon close, allowing for passenger operations to commence.
“I am happy to inform you that we are rounding off all testing processes for the commencement of full passenger operation in August this year. Details of the operations will be announced soon.”
He said the first phase of the LRMT red line (Agbado to Oyingbo) is also nearing completion and they intend to commence testing and passenger operations about August 2023.
