Be wary of attempts to discredit Lagos Blue Line Rail

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, has dismissed what it termed a doctored video clip showing four people purportedly pushing one of the train sets to be deployed for passenger operations for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit, LRMT, Blue Line.

LAMATA, the supervising agency of the LRMT, Blue Line, therefore, urged members of the public to disregard the video in its entirety.

Reacting to the development, Consultant, Corporate Communication, Kolawole Ojelabi, on Sunday, described the video as misleading.

Ojelabi stated that “The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) receives a doctored video clip showing four people purportedly pushing one of the train sets to be deployed for passenger operations for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line”.

“From investigation, we discovered that the train was clearly moving, and this is an old video clip showing the contractor’s staff horsing around the train when it first came. The area now, since the commissioning by President Muhammadu Buhari, has flags all around it as well as steel protective guard. Posting this video at this time is the work of mischief makers”.

“The average length of the train is 84m. This, definitely, cannot be pushed by four people as shown in the video clip. We appeal to our online community to be wary of those who are bent on doing everything to discredit this rail project”.

“We have successfully, without incident, carried over 15,000 people on test rides over the past six weeks”.

“For those who have interacted with the rail system, it is obviously a game changer”.
