LAMATA begins compensation payments to landlords affected by Blue Line depot project
LAGOS, NIGERIA (NPA) — March 17, 2026 — The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has begun compensating landlords whose properties were removed for the Blue Line Depot Land project in the Iba axis.
In a statement Tuesday, LAMATA confirmed that duly enumerated landlords have received formal compensation disclosures, detailing approved sums and terms to ensure transparency and understanding between government and stakeholders.
The agency added that compensation cheques for tenants were also distributed at the Palace of the Oniba of Iba Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Oba (Dr.) Sulaimon Raji Adeshina (Asade I).
The exercise was coordinated by Dr Babatunde Osho of Global Impact Environmental Consulting, working with LAMATA officials, Mrs Ibironke Omorhirhi and Miss Oluwasemilore Aderele.
This initiative underscores LAMATA’s commitment to fair compensation and community engagement. As work advances on the Blue Line Rail project, slated for completion in early 2027, the Authority remains focused on ensuring an inclusive process for all affected parties.
