    Lagos has long struggled with severe traffic congestion as Nigeria's largest port city and economic hub. The China-built Lagos Blue Line provides local residents with a more convenient and efficient mode of travel. The first phase of the rail, put into operation in 2023, stretches 13 kilometers and covers major commercial areas. Join CGTN's Huang Yaohui for a ride on the first electrified light rail built by a Chinese firm in West Africa.

      😂😂😂😂😂your governors are lazy with no vision, every state in Nigeria can have it. They make you focus on the federal government demonizing the president so that you don't hold your governors accountable.
      Tell me what exactly are the governors doing?
      Good roads they can't give
      Good public schools they can't roll out.
      Agricultural investment they can't
      Health nko na zero
      Urban planning e no dey
      Pay salary of their workers and pensioners, they still owe months.
      Just add your own
      Only few among them are trying.
      See Lagos for example, look at projects ongoing left right and center. What stop other states to do something? But becos some governors are lazy and lack vision nothing is happening. Lagos has a master plan and vision for the next 25yrs, which other state have something like that even if its a 3yrs plan? For where? Funniest thing is that their governors do nothing yet they bad mouth Lagos that their states can't catch up even in 100yrs😂😂😂😂😂.
      Pls hold your governors accountable. And before they start coming for me those sad people especially those from that side, let me put it in their thick skull, Yes, I am from Lagos, an indigenous of EPE LGA, I know my agbo ile, and can defend it
