4 Transportation Projects That President Buhari Has Commissioned In Lagos State by AUTOJOSH1: 10:26am On May 02, 2019


Since he assumed office in 2015, President Mohamadu Buhari has visited Lagos state on two occasions.

Both occasions were at the invitation of the Lagos state government, as led by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

During these visits, President Buhari did the honours of commissioning some projects, mostly transport-related projects. The projects were executed by the Lagos state government.

Interesting, Lagos state is yet to enjoy the commissioning of a Federal government project since Buhari assumed the rein of leadership in Nigeria. Hopefully, that would happen before the expiration of his second term in office, as there are some ongoing projects being embarked upon that will directly benefit the state.

Some of these ongoing Federal projects include the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan road project, Lagos-Ibadan rail project, and the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, etc.

Anyway, here are some projects that President Buhari has commissioned in Lagos state since his emergence as president in 2015.



Ikeja Bus Terminal




The Ikeja Bus Terminal, arguably, the most ultra-modern bus terminal in Nigeria, was commissioned by President Buhari during his inaugural visit to Lagos.

The Lagos State government developed the Bus Terminal as part of the infrastructures for the Lagos Bus Reforms Project.

The bus terminus will serve as the hub of all transport activities within the Ikeja Zone.

The Ikeja Bus Terminal was designed to serve over 50,000 passengers daily and providing access to many destinations including Ojota, Oshodi, Maryland, Obalende, Agege, Ogba, CMS, Iyana-Ipaja, etc.



Oshodi Transport Interchange



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

This is one of the key legacies that the outgoing governor of Lagos state – Akinwunmi Ambode – would be leaving behind as governor of Lagos state.

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.

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.

During his second visit to Lagos on April 24, the president commissioned this massive infrastructure.

Though construction work is still ongoing at the Oshodi Transport Interchange, however, it is expected that it would be completed in good time before May 29.





Oshodi-Airport Road




Though a Federal road, the Oshodi-Airport road project is being handled by the Lagos State government.

The Oshodi-Airport road is a gateway into the country. It connects Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos to the Oshodi axis of the state. The road offers first-time visitors to Nigeria their earliest impression of the country.

For decades, the road has been in an atrocious condition – one that begged for urgent attention

In the spirit of the regeneration and urbanization of Lagos state by the Ambode-led administration, work began on the project in September 2017.

The project is intended to transform the road from 4 lanes to 10 lanes from Oshodi to the International Airport.

The road will also feature an interchange and flyover that would drop commuters to the Local Airport.







820 Mass Transit Buses



During the President’s second visit, he commissioned a fleet of mass transit buses. These buses are an integral part of the Bus Reform Project of the Governor Ambode-led government.

This mass transit mechanism is intended to aid Lagosians in planning their journeys. This initiative will also make public transportation in the state globally competitive.

These buses are part of the first batch of 820 buses out of the 5000 buses being proposed for the bus Bus Reform Project.

Why are we so blinded by politics, ethnicity and religion that even the educated ones amongst us act like illiterates? even if President Buhari is ignorant about what it means to Commission a project, his handlers should know better.

President Buhari recently commission the uncompleted Oshodi-Airport road and the Oshodi transport Interchange.

What exactly is project commissioning?

Project commissioning is the process of assuring that all systems and components of a building or industrial plant are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the operational requirements of the owner or final client.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_commissioning

Why should a responsible government go ahead and commission a project that have not been completely installed, tested and operated?

Why cant the presidency atleast care about the safety of Nigerians. How can you even guarantee the safety of users by swiftly commissioning uncompleted projects? a project that has NEVER been tested.

Aren't there any sensible individual in the presidency?

This abnormality has never been recorded anywhere in the world except in this APC lead administration.

it is more than that.....there is a big project I'm part of but I'm scared it will be abandoned but I'm still optimistic that we will scale through.Nigeria is really a hard place to put an infrastructure that will benefit both the masses and the elites,there is always a greedy black sheep.....I pray what happened in the centenary city scam is not what transpired in the eko Atlantic project...

By the way, who knows the ugly empty rat in this picture?
Clue to identifying him: he uses rotten vulture meat to make BBQ.
