President Muhammadu Buhari is currently in Lagos State to unveil some projects executed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the State.

President Buhari who is expected to commission the first phase of the Lagos Blue Line Rail, will also commission the John Randle Yoruba Cultural Centre at Onikan, an all-purpose centre for arts, culture and tourism.

The President from Onikan would move to the Marina, where he would commission the Lagos Blue Line Rail, from where he would take a ride to Mile 2.

President Buhari is in Lagos on a two-day visit which began Monday, with the commissioning of the PPP-led $1.5 billion Lekki Deep Seaport, and the Lagos Rice Mill, Imota, believed to be the biggest in Africa.

In a related development, Governor Sanwo-Olu, on Monday, welcomed President Buhari to the state for the unveiling and commissioning of the Lekki Deep Sea Port.

While welcoming the Nigerian leader, the governor said the project is a massive infrastructure that will, directly and indirectly, create job opportunities for residents of the state.
