The Lagos State Government on Monday said the ongoing Oshodi Transport Interchange conceived and being implemented to evolve a seamless way by which Lagosians commute across the State on a daily basis would be completed within the first quarter of 2019.

Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr Adebowale Akinsanya, in a statement on the state of the project, said it was gratifying to report that substantial progress had been made towards its completion. The Commissioner added that with the ongoing pace of works, the project would be completed within the first quarter of 2019, and operations commencing soon after, saying that commuters around the State should look forward to having a comfortable, accessible and world-class transport system.


Besides, Akinsanya commended motorists and residents in the State for cooperating with government in the implementation of the project, just as he assured that all hands were on deck to expedite work and complete it on schedule. According to him, “At the moment, 83 per cent total work progress has been achieved, including completion of piling works on the three terminals and completion of the piling works for the Skywalks. “Among others, we have also completed works on the pile caps for the three terminals, concrete works of the buildings, ground floor works on all the loading bays for the three terminals, erection of steelworks for the Skywalks and terminals and Taxi Park and car park area, while road works around the terminal are at an advanced stage as well as bus holding bays around the terminals also at an advanced stage,” Akinsanya said.

The Oshodi Transport Interchange Project (OTIP) which is part of the Bus Reform Initiative of the State Government, is an iconic infrastructure designed to transform the axis forever and enhance connectivity. The project, in a nutshell, seeks to transform Oshodi into a world-class Central Business District (CBD) with business, travel and leisure activities conducted in a serene, secure, clean, orderly and hygienic environment, comparable with other transport terminals around the world including Stratford and Victoria Bus Station in the United Kingdom.

The project, on completion, would consolidate all the 13 city and interstate bus parks into three multi-storey terminals, providing standard facilities including waiting area, loading bays, ticketing stands, drivers lounge, parking areas, rest rooms, accessible walkways and pedestrian sky-walks linking all the terminals.

My own perspective about this project is a waste of funds...Ambode just waste money on this project and other bus stop like yaba and oyingbo projects

Bihari is a useless man

Interchange or no interchange.
Alaye and agbero must remain in Oshodi.

and the Governor doing this wonderful and beautiful thing like this is not allowed to go for a second term, because the lazy and foolish party members were not allow to do chop make i chop as usual, but a governour of Kogi state whose only achievement is to commission A transformer and a NEPA pole, will be having a full support to go for second time..And some people are wondering y Nigeria no b like japan

omg

I hope this doesn't end up like Tejuosho complex, after slamming exorbitant prices on it?



Nigeria and its leaders cursed with backwardness in thinking.

Sorry ambode

Good for them

What a waste of funds.

Similar to what it's obtainable in Dubai, at the Metro stations.
Sharaf DG Station
Mall of the Emirates Station
And Tram link at Dubai Marina.

It's nice, but what will it look like in 5 years time? Most flowers planted by the BRF administration are withered already

Waste of funds ..

this project and oshodi-airport road construction are the biggest waste of funds in modern Lagos history

This project makes a whole lot of sense in the sense that it will ease the transportation within Oshodi the other environment and vice versa, beautiful architecture. Lovely designs.
