A section of the multi-billion naira Blue Rail Mass Transit project on Marina, Lagos, has been gutted by fire.

It was learnt that the section, which houses a generator used in the facility, was affected by the fire yesterday. However, no life was lost and no one was injured, as the fire was quickly put out by fire fighters from both the Federal and State fire stations before it could spread to other sections.
