“The terminal serves as a multimodal point of exchange, bridging the gap between the Red Line and BRT buses on the Ikeja, Oshodi-Abule Egba axis.

“This project is important to me as it ties directly into our transportation plan and is instrumental into bringing Lagos into the forward-thinking city that we have envisioned for it to be.
