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...

SUSTAINABILITY IS ONE OF OUR PROBLEM HERE IN AFRICA ESPECIALLY IN NIGERIA.

WE HAVE POLITICIANS WITH BRILLIANT IDEAS BUT THERE IS PROBLEM OF SUSTAINABILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSOLIDATION especially when one government leaves office and another government comes in.

Ambode is an achiever but I do not know the agenda of Lagos Apc flag bearer Mr Sanwo Olu if he eventually wins the gubernatorial polls.

He may come with a different agenda that rubbish the investments of his predecessor, governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Mr Sanwo Olu may decides to look into other areas to develop on rather than carry on with the projects already on ground.

In the developed democracy of the world ( Britain, Germany, Holland, Italy, France, Ireland, Canada, Australia, USA, Japan, South Korea, Singapore ) government is continuity, government is continuation.

But in Nigeria it is a different ball game even among politicians of the same party affiliation.

Lagos is beautiful but okada and Sudanese citizen, may take over Lagos State one day, mark my word

Kudos! The most performing governor of the year

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.

Lagos state is actually performing poorly by its standard. Do you know the IGR of Lagos state? it's massive. Not to mention the amount they borrow, plus federal government allocation.

Sanwo Olu will take all the glory of his achievements. What a pity

dumb bimbo, why should you be comparing Lagos with other states in nigeria when half of what was done by FG in lagos is yet to be replicated in any other state in Nigeria..the money spent in Lagos by FG can turn any other nigerian states to Pretoria..and btw,any idiot can rule Lagos State and still perform a little due to the money there and the other developments that is there when it was the capital. We are still waiting for Fashola transform the ministries he is heading the same way people claimed he transformed Lagos

Nice one my governor

I also do small business here in Berger, you can patronize me too

Nice one from Lagos state government.... it's high time other states imitate Lagos to make 9ja a better place

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

How many Igbos use Innoson?
How many Innoson vehicles are in Atiku's convoy? Obi nko?
How many Innoson vehicles are in Ekweremadu's convoy?
Mention a single Igbo Governor using Innoson.

You that is here talking trash, are you using an Innoson vehicle?

It's your father's lineage and your poor inheritance that is a joke, not Nigeria.

You bitter Igbos must be put in your place.

ksly24:

It's a company owned by Yorubas in Yoruba land. No one is making noise.

If it were you Igbos, you'll be shouting Igbo Amaka.

Inferiority complex had finished your psyche.

Why not fix the bad and terrible roads first. You will spend so much money bringing in these buses and at the end of the day spend millions maintaining shocks ,tirods and ball joints all because if bad roads.. and within few months mist of the buses will pack up.

Lagos generate their highest revenue from the Port... If Nigerian politics will allow other States to build and control their Port stations, Lagos will be useless!!!!

You don't have to be insultive, I was only saying that its better we start patronizing what we produced here, on a serious note is cost effective and of a good quality. Again weather Atiku campaign uses innoson or not has nothing to do with my point of view. And for your information many states governments are top customers to Innoson. Also listen to peter obi speeches to understand my point. You are just hating for me stating the facts. How many of you will buy bags made in aba? But preferred Chinese bags to any bags made in Nigeria? Is not about Ipob is about Nigeria as a whole. I am not a member of ipob for your information. Kindly stop this childish reason and reason like human.

Eledan:

Another backward reasoning. If only people can reason this country would have been a better place.

all for Lagos where no big and traffic no be here

Ironically, it's the gala-hawking race that will benefit most from this initiative as they will have a wider reach in the different bus stops between Abule Egba and Oshodi YET they will be the first to castigate Tinubu and APC as if, their beloved Jimi Agbaje can ever be this innovative.

Same people like to die on top of Lagos and SW matters while leaving their own five villages to continue to rot.

Good work, Ambode!!!

ash.... u are made for ipob

Innosson Motor is a Biafran entity I guess. And the last time I checked with IPOBians, they confirmed that Biafra is not part of Nigeria.

So, Lagos decided to partner with another foreign country.

which state are you from?

In case you're not from Lagos as I'm inclined to thinking, then I'd like to know:

*why your state is not doing enough with its own fair share of the Fed. Allocation.

*why your state is not doing enough to consistently and continuosly push up its own IGR, and thus have at least something to show for it.

*why your state is not borrowing at its own relative full capacity.

stop making excuses and start holding your own state and local authorities accountable...
