God bless Ambode and the children of hate would still criticize him on such a project by reminding us that light rail is more important.first,the light rail is majorly a World Bank Project,funded by them,same with Ikorodu World Bank Road project during Fashola era people should get history right.
Secondly It could be that not much political push was placed on the light rail completion from Mile-2 towards Marina but my personal observation revealed that works never ceased as the triangular connection between Carter-Bridge Rail movement,Underwater Crude Oil by-pass with Heavy Engineering Works involved highly experienced Experts with Marine Engineers working day and night.Go there now and see the great work being done over the sea by the Chinese Construction Company linking the bridge to Marina.This has been going on for the past 2and half years.!This is the most delicate and technical aspects of the job,yet some people who don't understand what technicalities are spewing rubbish.Is it a must that a Governor must fight the elders of the party before you can appreciate his works.i was at Oshodi last week and I went down where Planet Engineers are working was very amazed.may be in years to come we appreciate Ambode's vision then.

Speaking of the Marina Light Rail Bridge, the red patches in the following diagram represent shipwrecks, discarded mooring dolphins, and various other underwater obstructions discovered during construction. The amount of piling works required on that phase is massive.

It is waste of money. You Nigerians should begin to use your brain. Your roads are extremely terrible, education in lagos is messed up, health care is crap and a useless governor is building useless terminals just to show off.

Perfection should never be the enemy of better.

The reality is that the Oshodi Interchange project is an existential improvement on what existed there - and I deliberately employ the term "existential" because it is not merely a physical improvement and regeneration (which in itself is massive) but a social and economic regeneration. The Interchange project not only helps to elevate the quality and standards of public infrastructure in Nigeria, but it completely re-envisions and restructures the very nature and practice of mass transportation in our corner of the world, while eliminating (or at least substantially minimizing) the criminal elements that ran roughshod over that area. In addition, the Bus Reform Initiative of which these terminals are part and parcel of should upgrade mass public transportation in Lagos, and facilitate business development and job creation.

Meanwhile, it is patently unfair (if not dishonest) to impute that these terminals is all that Mr. Ambode has been doing in Lagos. Apart from the 450 inner roads built/rebuilt across all 57 LCDAs in the state, the Code Lagos program is presently training up to a million coders in Lagos in partnership with global companies like Microsoft, SAP and Oracle. The Ready-Set-Work program works with the biggest public companies and other private businesses to provide internships to Lagos undergraduates with a view towards potential future employment or preparation for the modern workplace or entrepreneurship training and mentorship. The Lagos Employment Trust Fund (LSTEF) offers grants and single-digit low interest loans to entrepreneurs resident in Lagos (regardless of the so-called State of Origin). Lagos presently provides FREE education for about 1.6 million students in public schools, and teachers are constantly be trained and retrained in Lagos (there's also a car loan program for principals, headmasters and some senior teachers), schools are constantly being renovated/upgraded while new model schools are being built in each of the state's 5 divisions. Mr. Ambode has deepened the Lagos State Security Trust Fund and even increased the police's active duty death benefits under the scheme from N1 million to N5 million (and frankly these things should be the responsibility of the federal government that controls the police force). He has set up one of the best equipped and capable emergency response units in Africa, and has computerised vehicle inspections, licensing, the land registry, etc. Furthermore, Lagos continues to upgrade its primary healthcare centers and general hospitals (where certain categories of patients receive substantially free treatment), and has instituted a state-run health insurance scheme.

I realize that many Nigerians tend to have a "commissioning" mindset towards government and governance (to wit, if nothing is being "commissioned" nothing is being done), but the truth is that Mr. Ambode (and Mr. Fashola before him) has done a relatively excellent job of governing and upgrading what is probably Africa's most difficult and complex cities to govern.

President Muhammadu Buhari will be visiting Lagos before May 29 to commission the Oshodi Transport Interchange.

This news was confirmed by officials of the Lagos state government.

The Oshodi Transport Interchange will be Africa's first mega bus terminal.

The Oshodi Transport Interchange is part of a process to rebrand Oshodi, with the aim of giving Oshodi an ultra-modern outlook.

During the visit, the president will also commission the 10-lane Oshodi-Murtala Mohammed International Airport road.

Both projects are two key legacies that the outgoing governor of Lagos state – Akinwunmi Ambode – would be leaving behind as governor of the state.

Construction work is still ongoing at the Oshodi Transport Interchange. It is expected that it would be completed in good time before May 29.





The regeneration of the Oshodi axis into a world-class Central Business District (CBD) involves the construction of Transport Interchange.

The Interchange will aggregate all 13 city and interstate motor parks in Oshodi into 3 multi-storey bus terminals.

The three-floor terminals, which will be 30, 000 square meters for each terminal, will take care of the parking and passenger demand.

The Terminal One would be for inter-state transport activities. While Terminal Two and Three will cater for intra-city transport activities.

The terminals would have standard facilities including waiting area, loading bays, ticketing stands, driver lounge, parking areas, restrooms, etc.

It would also come with accessible walkways and pedestrian bridges and a state-of-the-art sky-walk to link all the three terminals, introduction of bus lanes, lay-bys, introduction of green parks to soften the environment and proper waste management strategy, fencing, street lighting and a dedicated security team for Oshodi including surveillance tower, CCTVs, etc.
