Nyamiri people , see another development in Lagos State....
Owo Eko , Eko l'ongbe....
Nyamiri people are working Tinubu and his cohorts are eating......

More money for the lagosian...we will use money realise in Lagos to pay the real lagosian..... keep working till you die

You said your lord TINUBU and his COHORTS are eating
I'm happy you know that you,your kinsmen and millions of your Villa people are off the EQUATION of the ones that are eating.

Your remains is what we have here typing rubbish

I hope he also plans to bring the people here to assemble these buses here as the repairs and replacement of cost could be another major issue

winterfell007:


after collecting the money from 'Nyamiri', via taxes and levy and using it to construct roads, they should not forget to put a signboard that says 'Roads for Omoluabis only'
Your type of person needs psychiatric evaluation

Y u dey vex for am? Na d truth em talk abeg! They r adding 2d labour force n enriching the main Lagosians. If u know u know.

SarkinYarki:
See how he is claiming Ambodes buses

Are you mentally okay?

omenka:
Sanwo Olu didnt buy anything Lagos state government did.

Dont know what is wrong with you guys. Attributing these things to persons rather than the government is silly.

Don't mind them. Ambode has automatically been claimed by PDP and IPO BB

Nigeria Debt to GDP ratio is less than 20%, Singapore is 150%, lagos internally generated revenue is $2bn yearly while its debt stands at $1bn... so Lagos debt is very healthy so is Nigeria debt, just that other state are borrowing to pay salary while Lagos uses its for economically feasible project like BRT and Lagos boat service that people can enjoy and pay for

solmusdesigns:


Do you even know what BRT is? they have thier seperate roads for your info

[/s]

madenigga:
Its disgusting that Danfos still ply Lagos. I know stopping them might make some people unemployed, but that's why Nigeria is big. We have 37 States.

If Lagos doesn't want danfo, you are free to relocate to Ogun or Benin or Kogi

Touch Danfo And get removed from office. Ask Ambode How market

davodyguy:

the other way round if he embezzles the money its not him that did it,it's Lagos that embezzles it right?

Another method of raising money for the yellow toothed drug addict

Wait so this is how they have left the Badagry Express blue rail line imagine train working and brt on that lane. Sanwo Olu has exceeded expectation I wouldn’t have imagined he would be this clueless. He’s the 3rd Governor investing on bRT!!! Damn!! Shame

Racoon:
Nice development Sanwo-Olu but abeg repair Lagos roads first.

Also tell Lagosians to have sanity all over.

Meliian:
Trash. What ever happened to developing other means of transportation. Keep flooding the roads with vehicles.

For the first time in a very long while, you made a sensible comment devoid of hate and tribalism.

Cheers

A very good innovative

AutoJoshNG:
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has announced the acquisition of 800 new BRT buses.

The governor made the announcement via a tweet, where he also announced the commencement of the expansion of the BRT lanes in the state.

According to the Governor, “Beyond road construction, we have started expanding the bus rapid transit system and gradually reducing the danfo buses on the roads. I am excited to announce that we have purchased over 800 buses to add to the existing BRT fleet expanding to more routes”

“We are supportive of private investment in transportation that is non-exploitative. This week, I launched @UberBoat, the first of many private-sector efforts at providing safe & efficient water transport working with our water transportation initiatives.”

See the tweet below.

The Lagos BRT

The Lagos BRT was established on 17 March 2008. It is the first BRT scheme in Sub-Saharan Africa. It started operations on a 22-kilometer radial highway BRT lanes that connect Mile 12 and Lagos Island. That is, it ran from Mile 12 through Ikorodu Road and Funsho Williams Avenue, Eko Bridge up to CMS.

Former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwumni Ambode, in May 2017, donated 50 new BRT buses to the private operator of the BRT service in Lagos.

Primero Transport Service Limited is the sole BRT operator in Lagos State.

So far, we only have a photo-loving model. in Lagos..
Hopefully, he will eventually transform to a WORKING governor.

SarkinYarki:

The irony is that Tinubu's HOA thugs are "probing" Ambode for the SAME buses...
Even the so-called "new" BRT lanes are the Oshodi-Abule Egba BRT lanes that Ambode's administration was constructing. SMH

The question is who owns Primero transport Services that makes it the only qualified operator since 2008..probably Tinubu or one of his croonies

E yeah sorry sir, why ranting here? I expect you to visit your state and advise your own state governor to emulate the gentleman. Crying, condemnation and complaining can't stop governors from the south/West from performing.

omenka:

Dont know what is wrong with you guys. Attributing these things to persons rather than the government is silly.

Smithkafors:
For the traffic laden roads.... continue,it's the masses i pity,with the billions is only buses you guys are buying year in year out.The same old practices,no change.Go to their houses/mansion it looks like Haven,but to replicate the same in the state is fire.

grandstar:
Wrong priority. Lagosians can manage without these BRT buses.

Focus on projects the citizens or the private sector can't do themselves with the scarce resources in the kitty.

There are loud potholes everywhere. How's the the Badagry expressway doing and Lekki-Epe? Are they being paved? What of the elevated train, the money for 800 buses I am sure can complete it.

Actually, we cannot...
There are always long lines and endless waits for buses these days.

It's not mutually exclusive to fix potholes (for which btw a so-called "state of emergency" was declared this week and contracts awarded to reputable contractors), continue to pursue the rail project (which obviously will not be completed overnight), and still introduce additional comfortable high-capacity and air-conditioned buses that would help tempt some middle-class folk to keep their cars off the clogged roads and uses the BRT.

whirlout:

Each BRT route (and there will ultimately be as many as 14 routes) is concessioned following a public bidding process...
Personally, I don't like the present situation, but reality is Primero is presently by far the most prepared operator, especially after it public debt offer.

You do have some point. The truth at the end of the day is that it is the private buses that still do most of the heavy lifting. The BRT buses will help unclogging the streets.

This is hard true. I know it pains you and your lineage.....you have the brain to develop someone else land but you don't have the brain to develop your own father land ...the whole yeast region is full of degradation, devastation and hegemony....join with satanic and sardonic cultural heritage.....
Tell your people , it's high time they start developing a commercial hub in the Yeast so that the overburden of your hopeless people will be reduced on Lagos State.... Awon Omo irankiran.

A state like Lagos should have a working rail system.... This isn't rocket science

SarkinYarki:

Lagos with too many cars on the road ! I thought they said this man is versed and well travelled?
Can't he start working on the alternative means of transportation to ease off the traffic situation in Lagos?
The rail line Ambode started has been abandoned, debris and hyacinth has taken over the water.
I tire o for this country.

omenka:

But if the state is under perform you can call Sanwoolu? The hatred in you henn na Only God can liberate you.

Expanding BRT lanes= More traffic gridlock

He bought new buses or he cleared the ones that was abandoned at the port by the previous administration.
