Lagos project shows train of thought

The Blue Line is part of an ambitious transport master plan to meet the demands of Nigeria's commercial and economic hub, which is one of the world's fastest-growing megacities.

More than 2,000 Chinese and Nigerian employees worked together to optimize construction in the face of multiple challenges, including complicated geology and the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Chu Maoming, China's consul general in Lagos.

Speaking at the ceremony, Zhang Zhichen, chairman of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corp Nigeria Ltd, said the firm will maintain its spirit of diligence, integrity, and tenacity and will build the follow-up projects with efficiency and to similarly high level of quality.
