The Oshodi BRT Bus Terminal has been ongoing for close to 3years now. It is a project initiated by Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode. According to the Mr. Ambode, the transport interchange is totalled to cost $70 million, and it will be funded on the public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement, noting that it would be completed between 13 and 16 months. 2 years have gone and the project is still on-going, in fact, Lagosians are beginning to wonder if this project will ever end soon.

The Lagos State Government when addressing the press in 2016 said the exchange will be completed through a Public-Private Partnership initiative between the Lagos State Government via Ibile Holdings, Translink Capital Development Limited and Planet Projects Limited. The new interchange will cost an estimated $70 million according to Governor Ambode and several financial institutions have also expressed interest to be part of the project. Each bus terminal will be 30,000 square metres and will include standard facilities such as waiting areas, loading bays, ticketing stands, driver lounge, parking areas, restrooms among others.

According to LASG, Oshodi currently accommodates about a million pedestrians and 100,000 passengers who utilise the 13 parks on a daily basis. Over the years, this has caused chronic traffic, overcrowding as well as an unhygienic environment. The Special Adviser to the Governor on Urban Development, Yetunde Onabule explained that the concept of the Oshodi regeneration plan is premised on a three-pronged approach including Urban Renewal, Environmental Regeneration as well as Transformation and Security. Ambode also explained that the project was in line with his administration’s determination to transform Oshodi into a world class CBD with business, travel and leisure activities conducted in a serene, secure, clean, orderly and hygienic environment.

The project was meant to be commissioned last year October during the Independence Day but was proposed to open in December, December came and nothing to show forth until this present moment.

In late May 2016, the Lagos State Government (LASG) laid out plans for the regeneration of Oshodi into a world-class Central Business District (CBD). These plans will begin with the construction of a Transport Interchange that will consolidate the 13 city and interstate bus parks in Oshodi into 3 multi-story bus terminals.

* Terminal One will run from the Mosafejo Market Axis and will be used for inter-state transport activities;
* Terminal Two will run from the former Owonifari Market and will be used for intra-city transport activities;
* Terminal Three will run from the area adjacent to NAFDAC and will also be used for intra-city transport activities.

AutoReportNG has been keeping a tab on Oshodi Transport Interchange and we got some exclusive images for you. Even though Planet Projects, the company handling this project has been very slow on this but so far, they seem to be trying to beat the time for Gov Ambode to commission this edifice before leaving office. Base on our assessment, we noticed that work on this project can be put at 90% as the skyway seems to have been completed and the parkway too is already in its completion stage.

After a walkover from Oshodi to the other bus stations, the workers are working endlessly and fixing the stands, the flooring and other roads linking to the terminal. We are still not sure how Planet Projects will construct the road from the bridge to the bus station especially the part where the agberos load the passengers and where we have the street hawkers. We can only watch as all these unfolds.

The Lagos State Government has assured Nigerians that Pres. Buhari will commission this project before the expiration of Gov. Ambode.

We got some images for you and these may interest you.

Lagos State is working! A whooping amount of 70million dollars nobi small money ooh

BTW why is Choosen banner there sef

half of the work has not been done, maybe in the next two years, they will finish it

This Ambode guy is a fraud. A serious governor will not spend such a big money on interchange and abandoned a metro railway project. Spend half of that amount on water transport system all these traffic wahala will become something of past

Some people are using this to butray their home.

This is how development start... Other states should tag along

Still the governor do not get second tenure but criminal like bello of kogi got second tenure

Ambode really tried a little but he is not good enough for Second term

I hope this is not another wasted money project that has no meaning in the lives of lagosians
What about the Badagry project i think the project is taking too long

AutoReportNG:
Eko oni baje..

I have some pictures of interstate commercial buses in South Korea...

As confused as APC victory in Kano and Osun

Hope he can finish it before he leaves office.

Is Lord's choosen part of the PPP?
Lagosians don't know what they lost in Ambode, though that one na mama iyabo.

Please no one should quote me, the weed I smoked yesterday was carried over to today.

Please put graphic in this your hairy body

once it is completed MC oluomo will have to find a factory job.... else he will useless as letter P in Psychology.

sanwo will complete it.......#ilovelag

This is clearly a white elephant project. If such huge funds were sunk into alternative means of transportation especially the water ways, the frequent gridlock on Lagos roads would have greatly reduced

You want to incur the wrath of Lagos transporters abi? If Sanwo Olu tries it he won’t make second term like Ambode.

Rubbish. Only those who live outside Lagos will call Ambode a success.

If half of these funds were sunk into other means of transportation, as well as fixing of the ubiquitous bad roads in the state, we would have felt the impact. Instead, he used all these wastefulness as an avenue to enrich himself and his cronies.

Ambode the dirty governor. Ambode the thieving governor. Ambode the Grand Patron of Quilox club.
