The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has conformed with the directives of the Lagos State House of Assembly to adopt Yoruba Language as part of the languages in its announcement for the operations of the blue rail line.

The State Assembly had last week invited LAMATA to appear and explain the reasons behind its refusal to adopt the use of the language initially.
The House noted the importance of Yoruba language for passing information to passengers on the trains since it would help some of them, especially new users, easily understand what to do.
The House further noted that since 2017 when the bill on compulsory teaching of Yoruba Language in schools was passed, the State had made conscious efforts to encourage the use of the language in public places adding that this should be sustained.
