After all, is said and done, the Lagos State Government finally set a date to commission its 820 buses to the public.

As earlier predicted, we released some exclusive pictures of the BRT buses to you when they were in Ikeja BRT park.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday said plans have been firmed up to roll out the Bus Reform Project of the State Government in March with 820 high and medium capacity buses, saying that the initiative would redefine public transportation and make the State to be globally competitive.

The Governor, who said this during an extensive inspection tour of ongoing projects across the State which lasted from morning till late in the night, said the initiative was basically designed to inject 5,000 buses, modern terminals, facilitate ease of mobility for residents and also rev up Lagos economy, among others.

While inspecting the assembling plant at Awoyaya in Ibeju Lekki area of the State which is also serving as the temporary holding bay for 500 out of the 820 buses, Governor Ambode expressed optimism that the buses would be rolled out after the elections, while the next phase of the project would be to assemble the buses in Lagos.

"This is an assembling plant. The dream is that beyond the procurement of 820 buses by the government, the next set of buses in the vision should be assembled in Lagos in this assembling plant and another one in Epe.

"That is the dream and the whole project is scalable and in this scale right now, we would run with the 820; you have seen the maintenance workshops and all that, and then the next scale which is the next phase is for Nigerians to be able to assemble the buses in Lagos and then we create employment opportunities and also allow the GDP of Lagos to grow. The buses are ready and we think with everything we have done, we should be able to roll out these buses may be immediately after the elections," he said.

AutoReportNG was able to get some exclusives of the assembly plant in Ibeju Lekki...

Nice one from Ambode

Despite the iconic dream he had for Lagos through the Oshodi Transport Interchange. Godfatherism denied him that chance to complete what he started.

what a sad story.


I hope the incoming governor continues on the progress that has already been made by carrying out routine maintenance on those buses to avoid stories that touch.

Success speaks for itself... Silence is golden!

Yet, you don't see any chest-beating, noise-making, bragging or blabbing from we, the Yorubas!

Lagos State is way ahead of all the other States.

If only the other Governors can follow the lead of Lagos, Nigeria will be better!! But most of the other Governors just want to collect Federal Allocation and spend as they wish.

Nairaland mod sef... pushing the same news with different heading to front-page. It's obvious una no dey read the content of the craps una push to front-page.

I don't like how APC treated this man... I guess because he is executing a lot of projects so less money for them to embezzle... If not why is this man not going for 2nd term for christ sake?!

Why not patronize our own, INNOSON MOTORS affordable and durable. Nigeria is a joke.

The only good thing about it is that they will have spare parts readily available.

Everything else na same

Smh

Is Ekene dili chukwu, ABC, Chisco, Cross country or even Transport company of Anambra state patronizing Innoson? Better carry ur sawdust brain and tribalistic bigotry to one corner.

humongous

Absolutely right. Imagine if my Delta state got its act together and developed industry. Right now we have very high allocation, yet the majority of the people are impoverished. The only thing I see is people with access to allocation wasting money on flexing.

It's time Eko collect independent from Nigeria,cos they're truly above every other State..
