Lagos Red Line Expands: 9 Daily Trains, Smoother Event Planning
The Lagos Red Line just got a major upgrade, now offering nine daily trips instead of two. With five morning trips and four evening trips along the Agbado-Oyingbo corridor, event planners can expect smoother transportation for attendees. Reduced congestion and shorter wait times—down to just two minutes per station—mean less stress and more focus on the event itself. Total travel time is now a swift 50 minutes.
LAMATA isn’t stopping there. Plans are in place to introduce three more train sets to further increase capacity and improve reliability. This expansion is part of Lagos’ larger push for better transportation infrastructure, aligning with other traffic-easing projects. For those organizing events in the city, this development enhances accessibility and makes planning logistics much easier. Attendees can now rely on a more efficient public transit system, strengthening Lagos as a prime destination for meetings and events.

Slash Event Catering Costs: Smart Menu Ideas for Planners
Slash Your Event Catering Costs with Smart Menu Choices
Balancing quality and budget in event catering doesn't have to be a struggle. A few strategic menu adjustments can deliver memorable experiences without inflating costs. Skip elaborate charcuterie boards in favor of cheese displays with jams and fresh produce, or swap towering cakes for elegant dessert shooters like tiramisu and cheesecake bites.
Opt for cost-effective alternatives like fruit-infused water instead of soda, and explore flavorful secondary meat cuts over premium selections. A centralized coffee station reduces hidden costs, and incorporating meatless options can be just as satisfying while cutting expenses. Consider food trucks for an engaging, budget-friendly approach, and prioritize seasonal, locally sourced ingredients for fresher and more sustainable dining. Smart choices lead to significant savings without compromising on style or guest satisfaction.
