I am 100% sure that the project will be abandoned when Sanwoolu resumes. This is a loss to tax-payers.
If Sanwo-Olu abandoned the uncompleted projects, he (Sanwo-Olu) will be punishing Lagosians and not Ambode. I believe that the best way to endear himself to the people is to finish those projects as promptly as possible!

Honestly I still don't get why busses need such a building or infrastructure. Perhaps I would have understood better if it were an interchange for trains and boats etc.
Will all vehicles line up in this building or what?
Beats me bro. Sad thing is, as soon as that project is ready lunatics and street hawkers would move in sharp sharp. Such a collosal waste of money and misplaced priority

When some people out of naivety were pitying the outgoing Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode over his ill-fated second term bid, I laughed becuase they didn't know the kind of character he is. Akin is naturally vindictive and wicked.
The crazy rush to falsely impress the world that he had performed outstandingly well by commissioning uncompleted projects just to prevent his successor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu from taking credit of commssioning those projects smacks of kindergarten act and immaturity.
Former Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN is a man in his own class. A complete Omoluabi and matured mind. Fashola didn't rush to commission uncompleted projects just to take the glory.
Infact, the former governor deliberately left the commissioning of the completed # LASEMA Centre at Cappa, Oshodi and other landmark projects for his successor, Ambode to commission.
Yet Ambode who had launched war of attrition and smear campaign against BRF immediately he assumed office failed to invite him to witness the commissioning of the project he completed. Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo had to 'conscript' Fashola into his entourage for the ocassion.
Fashola took the whole thing in his stride and focus on his assignments in Abuja as a super minister. He never fought back. It should be noted that Ambode who could steal the glory to commission BRF's completed projects could not finish many ongoing projects Fashola left. The abandoned Ilubinrin Housing is one major example among many others.
Out of hatred for Fashola, Governor Ambode refused to provide land for the minister to build the Federal Government Mass Housing Scheme for Lagos State.
All the states of the federation including Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had provided land except Lagos. Work had reached advanced stage in many states, yet Ambode denied Lagos such project becuase of needless rift.
Ambode drifted off course by latching on to projects that were not expedient and worst still some which the Federal Government had indicated to handle. The governor insisted on spending Lagos taxpayers' money on the reconstruction of Lagos Airport Road which the Federal Government had agreed to build.
It beats logic that Lagos with huge infrastructure deficit and deplorable roads, Ambode could insist on spending such billions of Naira on such project when the Federal Government was willing to foot the bill out of the national pool which the state contributes lion's share.
Ambode even cried out that Fashola had declined approval for the construction of the road as if it was his duty. He is a glory seeker!
Whilst he was busy fighting over Lagos Airport road which was not his business, he cancelled his campaign promise and plans to build Fourth Mainland Bridge that will crisscross the Lagos Lagoon and serpentine through Ikorodu. The Agric/Ishawo/Asolo road which was intended to link Arepo in Ogun State had since been abandoned.
Residents and motorists plying the road face nightmare daily. The same harrowing experience is the fate of residents of Igbogbo Baiyeku where houses were demolished for road construction. No contractor on sites.
The hyped construction of Pen Cinema Bridge in Agege has been muted since last year when he literally suspended governance. Portholes have turned to 'boreholes' on major highways across the state.
Even in the Central Business District, CBD Alausa, very close to the seat of power, massive gullies are everywhere. One can imagine the state of roads in the hinterlands and the densely populated areas.

Ambode will once again throw the bustling city into chaos. He had invited President Muhammadu Buhari for another round of jamboree. The president handlers should please advise him to ignore the clownish governor who has failed greatly.
The presidency should asked of updates and status of projects which were commissioned by the President last year, March 29, 2018. The glorified bus stop in Ikeja which Ambode brought Mr President to Lagos commission is yet to be put to use. Infact, It is being 'remodelled' after it was commissioned.
The Oshodi Transport Interchange is not yet a completed project and Lagos Airport Road is not 90 percent near completion. Mr President should save himself the embarrassment Ambode caused him last year by 'rebreaking' the Lagos Atlantic City ground which Fashola had earlier invited former President Goodluck Jonathan to perform.
Ambode should stop wasting his time. He cannot become minister. We understand how he has been spending Lagos money on some people in Abuja just to impress them. He is a failure which cannot be reinforced


Well put together!

You can see the hypocrisy of our people. All of them are busy abusing Buhari and sparing Ambode, the script writer and director of this misnomer.

Nobody will deny that he started something but the proper thing anywhere is to finish and then commission/open up for use. Why celebrate and acknowledge mediocrity? If for any reason the project remains unfinished, it would have been better not have even started because resources committed would be completely poured down the drain! Let's not even talk of the financial implications of moving the president and his retinue of aides with the presidential jet just to show off a project less than 50% ready!

..yes they need such infrastructure to avoid traffic congestion when doing business..imagine having 400 buses lined up in the road and people queing to buy ticket on that same road...

Are you saying 400 or even 200 buses will fit in this building?
It might make sense to say ticketing booths will be in this building but then why so large a building for ticket dispense when others even use self service kiosks.

Hi Josh,

You should know by now the reason for the commissioning of uncompleted projects by Ambode is just so Sanwo olu does not take the glory tomorrow and probably to pave way for an appointment for Ambo.

My brother, it's Just politics!!!!

But as it stand now it is sanwo olu's government that will complete the project, and you don't expect them to take any of the credit ?

Ministerial appointment ko! If he is the last person left he wouldn't get anything, can't you see the level of incompetence? you now want to saddle him with something bigger- aregbe has a better chance at becoming a minister then ambode - aregbe is a loyal person, he is also dedicated to duty or what ever he believes , thou his level of rascality no get match, but he doesn't mince words and he is not cunning he speaks the truth to authority

Since Ambode was not given a chance to complete the job, he has to quickly commission it before another governor takes credit for it. He knows how APC like taking for the work of others. Like all the Jonathan rail and train Amaechi has been commissioning weeks after he took office. grin cheesy

Don't forget that hustle for ministerial slots has started in earnest. What a better CV is there to show Buhari than massive projects to commission? Ambode won't let Tinubu out manoeuvre him in every way. Ambode could become Buhari's new Amosun, only this time actually in FEC.


Yea political shenanigans

1. It has multi-floor parks - where you can park your personal car and continue your journey with BRT.

2. It has lodging facilities.

3. There is a rail line already cutting across this project; which if modernized can also utilize these facility.

4. The project is a starting point towards centralizing Lagos transport system and phasing out the un-aesthetic Danfo buses from Lagos roads!!

This is spot on.

In fact, I'm still imagining if the 820 commissioned Buses will ply the Air because at it stands, there are no roads for them to ply as all the existing roads (particularly on the mainland) are in terrible condition.

Ambode is the worst thing to happen to Lagos State since the return to democratic rule in 1999.

So with this light and security problems you want Nigerians to go and line up in their numbers waiting for buses.

That will be a ready target for terrorist and robbers. This project seems like something done for political reasons rather than for the people.

Buhari by the way has gained a notoriety for commissioning dummy or uncompleted project. The baro port he commissioned last year in Niger, not one bird is there.
