He added that the bank was interested in partnering with LAMATA to expand the capacity of the existing rail system.

“Quaynor was also in the company of Mayowa Ayodele, Non-Sovereign Operations and Private Sector Equity Specialist, ahead of a visit of the technical team to assess the Purple line,” he said.

The Purple Line is a 60-kilometre railroad along the Redemption Camp in Ogun State, traversing Berger, Agege and Alimoso and terminates at Volkswagen to join the Blue Line.
