“It was very significant, historic and memorable. It is a plus for the government and people of Lagos and it is necessary that we commend the man in charge and his team who have put so much into this to make it realistic,” he said.

Obasa highlighted the economic importance of the project, stating, “It is not just about the project, but its economic importance to the state, especially being the second one to be commissioned. The line will eliminate traffic issues and associated challenges.”

The Speaker also praised President Tinubu for laying the foundation by establishing LAMATA years ago, when he was governor of Lagos. “It is also necessary to commend Mr. President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who was on hand to commission the project and for laying the foundation by establishing LAMATA years ago when he was governor of Lagos. We are getting there,” Obasa said.

The House has directed the Clerk to transmit letters of commendation to the President, Sanwo-Olu, and former Governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode for sustaining Tinubu’s vision for Lagos.

Obasa added that the House will continue to monitor the operations of the trains.

Hon. Adewale Temitope, chairman of the committee on transportation, acknowledged the Assembly’s role, saying, “This wouldn’t have been successful if this House, under your leadership, did not pass the budget or approve appropriation for the project.”
