The new Ikeja Bus Terminal, unarguably, is the most ultra-modern bus terminal in Nigeria.

This new transport infrastructure demonstrates yet another brilliance of the Ambode administration.

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

Upon commissioning, 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.

The Ikeja Bus Terminal features facilities befitting of a modern bus terminus. These facilities include Waiting Areas, Ticketing Booth, Loading Bays, Information Centre, Food Court, Taxi Rank, Passenger Convenience, Operations Control Centre and an ATM Gallery amongst many others.

Nigeria’s president, Mohammadu Buhari, is expected to do the official commissioning of the Ikeja bus terminal tomorrow.

So, considering that the land that this bus terminal belongs to the state government, if you were to quote as a contractor to build this imposing and impressive infrastructure, how much would you quote to build it?

Do you know what I am bothered about? The ability of the state govt and its agencies, to sustain and maintain this terminal over a long period of time, to the high standards of cleanliness and functionality, shown here.

Such an edifice would soon be launched with fanfare, and even fancier speeches. In 9 months, it would take the grace of God to meet this same terminal, in this pristine state. It is likely to have been defaced, distorted and riddled with all kinds of nauseating activities, that are capable of ruining the purpose it was originally set out to achieve. We need to put more effort into sustaining such projects or terminals, for good optimum performance.

Nice one sha

I must say this is a beautiful project. I hope the can maintain it.

Now, to answer your question. Well, as for me, and looking at the photos, all I see are the building and interlocking tiles.

So, the main cost will be on the building and the interiors. If I was to quote to build this bus terminal, I will quote N100million.

However, any government contractor that wish to win such a contract should also include in his quotes monies for kickbacks and bribes.

So, at the end of the day, such a project might turn out to cost tax payers about N5billion.

This is the very sad reality in Naija.

Ok

Looking good. They should take maintenance seriously. Good job.

Pay your Land Use Charge.

Ambode means well for Lagosians

Great

Gidi

Come back to this facility in about two years time and see it look like a shithole


Meanwhile ....Lagos is No-mans-land

Is that all

Na Governor/Minister suppose commission this thing na... I hope all those NURTW touts wouldn't damage it soon

Bill Gates came here and told the truth, instead of them to listen to good advice, they were grumbling up and down.

Oga Presido stay in Abuja, we no wan see you for Lagos!

You have said it all. I wish the government could make the cost of such projects public. At least for accountability sake. Often, we are so caught up in the euphoria of commissioning a project that we dont bother to ask questions like how much was spent on the project being commissioned.


I hope Ambode would come out and announce tomorrow how much this project costs the tax payers.

but is it Danfo that will be using this bus terminal? or only BRT or both?

Makin sense....

Eko o ni baje!
Congratulations, Lagosians.

Buhari, you see your life? When will you commission a useful federal government project?

Is this why Ambode is granting a holiday to Lagosians, because Sai Bubu is coming to open a molue station?

And also the ability of Nigerians to keep it clean...........Nigerians are toooo dirty! How can you maintain cleanliness where pigs play?

Five years time, everything will be messy

Why must BUHARI the known terrorist lunch the project?......

Somebody should please remind AMBODE, BUHARI, APC, and the entire SAI- BABA chanters -that Leah the Christian gapchi girl who was kidnapped by Boko Haram is suffering in the hands of her captors...

This is indeed beautiful. Buhari can fly in a chopper to this place and also fly to where Tinubu is having his 68th birthday colloquium at ikoyi and save us the stress of traffic.

after 4yrs it will look like oshodi under bridge .

Our govt lack mentainance.

soon ll turn to Agbero park.
Nigeria lack maintainance culture
