Lovely environment, but keeping it, is the issue...

Still looks dead
Very soon it will be nonsense due to lack of maintainance culture

This looks good but ermm it's a Bus terminal . Where are the Buses ? Why not wait for Buses B4 lunch ? ?everything mah lunch lunch dem open one big sainsbury and shopping centre behind my house nobody make noise no govt come open anything . 9ja tar one km of road government go come open am

silastemplar:
but is it Danfo that will be using this bus terminal? or only BRT or both?

No danfos or molues. Brand new BRT buses will be launched with this bus terminal tomorrow.

I ask, where will the engers that will patronise the facility comes from? I'm sure the facility can't get up to 50,000 traffic in a day.
Also, the ading roads to the complex except maybe Agege motor road are too narrow to cope with such influx.

MTKbudapest:
after 4yrs it will look like oshodi under bridge .

Our govt lack mentainance.

my last view their on Sunday was So disapointing

Do you know what I am bothered about? The ability of the state govt and its agencies, to sustain and maintain this terminal over a long period of time, to the high standards of cleanliness and functionality, shown here.

Such an edifice would soon be launched with fanfare, and even fancier speeches. In 9 months, it would take the grace of God to meet this same terminal, in this pristine state. It is likely to have been defaced, distorted and riddled with all kinds of nauseating activities, that are capable to ruining the purpose it was originally set out to achieve. We need to put more effort into sustaining such projects or terminals, for good optimum performance.

I confirm you boss.
I mean it is just a bus terminal. why all the expensive beautification. A bus terminal should just have space to park cars and security.
Why was that fund not put into healthcare or education.

i am glad we have some people thinking like you @laudable. very soon we go plenty for revolution.All this shine shine politics with no headway must end

I can see a copy and paste from Stratford.........

Esejojo:
I must say this is a beautiful project. I hope the can maintain it.

Now, to answer your question. Well, as for me, and looking at the photos, all I see are the building and interlocking tiles.

So, the main cost will be on the building and the interiors. If I was to quote to build this bus terminal, I will quote N100million.

However, any government contractor that wish to win such a contract should also include in his quotes monies for kickbacks and bribes.

So, at the end of the day, such a project might turn out to cost tax payers about N5billion.

This is the very sad reality in Naija.

Good contribution but that's the level we are at the moment. We'll get there someday. ..let's appreciate the fact that there's a visible project despite the associated stealing. It's still better than stealing everything. ..check most states. ..no such people oriented projects.

Oga 100 million naira cannot build that bus terminal, am a civil engineer at least 200m

The Ikeja Bus Terminal is actually really nice according to the pictures I've seen...

I bet it with u go and check these terminal.it. Will remain as dis.

So the president is coming to commission a mere bus terminal .?


Kai.

Nigeria is suffering from a serious dearth in leadership.

Even ambode himself has zero shame if the president doesn't have any.

will this only be for brt buses

erico2k2:

Ahaha I don die here jst imagine

Anything for a holiday...... In a bid to keep people home, so Sai Bubu would not witness traffic congestion....

I know say nah 3rd mainland route straight...... Another ploy to avoid the gutters on main roads.....

Wow. This is how bad things have gotten in Nigeria. We now expect our rulers to steal public funds, so long as they build something. What a national tragedy.

Another tragedy is that 10 times the amount spent on building this Bus terminal will be spent to commission it tomorrow. SMH.

A few metres from this bus terminal is MM2, a terminal for aircrafts. Its by far bigger and trickier to manage but guess what, the moment it was built and commissioned it was concessioned to a private company and its a success story till date. Not only has it been properly maintained, it has also been improved to meet with best practice and standards, it attracts good patronage and in consequence good financial returns to government.

Same should happen with this bus terminal.

Bus terminal with no buses...

He is also dropping a line or 2 (in the grammar he understands) at a seminar.....

Trust Jagaban.......... To add spin to his molue garage cutting tape....

I'm sure a particular crew will be assigned to cater for the maintenance alone. We need good maintenance there pls.

Lagos is said to be the 5th largest economy in Africa if the stats from the state is to be believed.

We should be seeing more ambitious projects , Instead of embarrassing the president like this

Look at capetown, Rabat, Casablanca, jourhanesburg, Cairo, e t. c. Their projects are intimidating and they are not richer than Lagos.


The only ambitious project in Lagos is the eko Atlantic which now happens to be elitist.


I am not Ignoring or condoning the backwardness in other states.

nickxtra:

Lagos State government will disband Danfo and bring more modern buses. This project is already ongoing.

This is how a country is supposed to look like. Lagos State government should work hard on their maintenance abilities. Very important. Good one

I just dey pity my Oil State, Delta. Okowa is more useless than Buhari I swear
