“The 32-metric tonnes per hour Lagos rice mill at Imota-Ikorodu was also launched to produce rice for Lagos residents and possibly for export. The intent to ease transportation in Lagos led to the conceptualisation and eventual launch of the Lagos blue line rail project.“This project is part of fulfilling the request for a multi-modal transport system in Lagos to ease the traffic jams experienced by Lagos residents.
The chamber further commended the state government for its efforts to provide infrastructure, adding that the projects will positively impact the economy, and grow the gross domestic product of the state and that of the country.
