Construction workers on Nigeria’s Lagos-Ibadan Railway project have turned pandemic safety into a viral beat! 🎶 After delays due to COVID-19, crews are back on track—literally—and using a catchy rap song to spread awareness about mask-wearing, handwashing, and social distancing.
Rhymes Over Rumbles 🚄
The 157-km railway, linking Lagos (Nigeria’s bustling commercial hub) to Ibadan, is a lifeline for trade and travel. But when the pandemic hit, progress slowed. Now, workers are blending ‘90s hip-hop vibes with public health tips to keep spirits high. Lyrics like ‘Mask up, no slack—let’s flatten that curve!’ are echoing across construction sites.
Hope on the Horizon 🌟
Despite challenges, locals say the project symbolizes resilience. ‘The railway isn’t just steel—it’s our future,’ one worker shared. With the rap song gaining traction online, it’s clear: even in tough times, creativity bridges gaps. 💡
