The Lagos State government has said it would construct an interchange at Oshodi as part of its plans to turn the area into a “world class business district”.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode stated this during a forum organised by the state’s Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development on the planned redevelopment of Oshodi, a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna, said.

The interchange, scheduled to be completed in 15 months, will consolidate the 13 city and interstate parks in Oshodi into three multi-story bus terminals, Ambode who was represented represented by the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Engr. Adebowale Akinsanya, said.



According to the governor, the project is in line with his administration’s determination to transform Oshodi into a world class with business, travel and leisure activities conducted in a serene, secure, clean, orderly and hygienic environment.

“The Oshodi you see today shall be a thing of the past in the next 15 months as a world class transport interchange will be coming up,” he said.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Urban Development, Mrs. Yetunde Onabule, said Oshodi currently accommodates about one million pedestrians and 100,000 passengers daily, accessing the 13 parks scattered within the area.

She added that 76 per cent of the area was dedicated to transport and related activities, which led to serious traffic congestion and other environmental issues.
The new plan, she said would address environmental challenges in the area and lead to a drop in crime.
“This plan would see the total rebranding of the old Oshodi, thus turning Lagos into a befitting and an iconic international gateway to the rest of the world,” she was quoted as saying.

“It would also ensure an organised transport system that will ensure free flowing traffic.”
According to Onabule, the project is a Public Private Partnership initiative between the Lagos State Government, represented by Ibile Holdings, Translink Capital Development Limited and Planet Projects Limited.

Among other things, she said the interchange,” would also come with accessible walkways and pedestrian bridges and a state-of-the-art sky-walk to link all the three terminals, introduction of bus lanes, lay-bys, introduction of green parks to soften the environment and proper waste management strategy, fencing, street lighting and a dedicated security team for Oshodi including surveillance tower, CCTVs and the likes.”

Dat moment when snake does an x-ray




Na 2day we dey hear dis rubbish

The actualizer seems this man is more responsible than the noisy fashola

Kudos keep up the good work.

Itesiwaju ilu Eko lo je wa logun.
Simply brilliant!!!
No wonder there's been data collection by some government officials with officials of LASTMA stopping me and other road users since Monday and asking me where I am coming from, where I am heading to and where is my office /residence located.Then they make their entry and politely say "thank you and have a nice day sir"

don't only go about infrastructures,sensitize or enlighten the oshodians,give the agberos in oshodi work,or better still, seal them up lest you build a mega city that will later become a habitat to these unlearned touts,weedlords,nd saboteurs.
#eko oni baje ooo
#itesiwaju eke

It's now pretty much and standard for Lagos to dish out new projects everyday.



#ItesiwajuIluEko is a must..

The noisy Fashola delivered more projects than the FG since independence and the other 35 states combined.


You should worry more about your lazy and incompetent village leaders ....

Its Fashola's legacy that is making Ambode work easy. Remember how Fashola met this Oshodi and how he left it

Yea fashola worked but talks too much

I thought Ambode was clueless
Maybe wrong sha

Sincerly speaking, I see in Ambode a reformed and intelligent ex-tout.

I like his style though. His plans are in the short to medium with visible results.

By the way, there's some foprm of renovation/upgrade going on after/before oshodi. Cappa to be precise. Does anyone know what that place is to be used for? It looks like a bus terminal but I find police cars stationed there most times.

Whoever is good is good, not about doing eye service,
I think this guy is far ahead and better than fashola.

My opinion though

Ui

This sound good but what about the criminals factor, those day light robbery's that lives and rule Oshodi. In the 80s it was Adebayo Ogundare (a.k.a Adebayo Success ) now is Oluomo . I quite understand this guy is Tinubu political tug and might be very useful for APC but the party do not need them anymore these guy and his group kill at will and collect money levies from people .They are so powerful now that all the Fuji musicians and most of the Yorubas movies stars worship them and even sleep with some the ladies at any convenient time. It is an eye sore to see criminals ruling our city and acting like a small God. Mr Governor you need to take a bold step today.
