 SANWO-OLU APPROVES TRANSFORMATION OF OBALENDE BUS STOP INTO MODERN BUS TRANSPORT HUB


… Project To Be Fully Funded By MTN As CSR


Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the transformation of the Obalende bus stop into a modern bus transport hub that will enhance the Obalende loop, underbridge, and adjoining lay-by, ensuring a seamless integration into the Lagos State Mega-City.


The project, which will be fully sponsored by the telecommunication giant, MTN, as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contribution to the development of Lagos State, will transform Obalende Bus Stop into an aesthetically pleasing and functional public space.


A statement signed by the State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, stated that the proposed transformation, on which work will soon commence, will include organised and regulated bus operations, as well as well-labelled location signages.


The hub to be named Y’ELLO Bus Park will feature the installation of solar panels to support long-term energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint. He added that the new transport hub will have provisions for a recyclables drop-off station to promote waste management and recycling.


According to him, "Tree planting is also planned to improve air quality and enhance the visual appeal of the environment. Also to be included are road camps for LAWMA Sweepers and Security Agencies, including KAI and the Neighbourhood Agency.


“Other features of the new transport hub include Food and Beverage Kiosks for passengers, ticketing Booths and public toilets to eradicate open defecation. He explained that the project is community-centred to improve the health, well-being, security and aesthetics of the Obalende area, ultimately helping to reduce the crime rate.


"The proposed hub will also contribute to protecting the integrity of the McGregor Canal, which often gets heavily silted and blocked, leading to frequent clean-up efforts by the State Ministry of the  Environment and Water Resources".


The Commissioner explained that the space currently being used as the Obalende Bus Stop has grown to be one of the busiest transport hubs in Lagos, serving as a major gateway connecting Ikoyi, Victoria Island and as a conduit to the Mainland through the Third Mainland Bridge.


Said he: "Over time, rapid urbanisation, population growth and informal economic activities have altered the area’s character with the prevalence of activities such as illegal trading, improper waste management, unauthorised use by non-state actors, lack of greening and landscaping, open defecation, shanties and illegal structures, vagrants"


It will be recalled that Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, visited the site on February 18, 2024, confirming the sad reality of a deviation from the vision of Lagos as a megacity. He also saw the deteriorating aesthetics of the area that was affecting security, public health, ease of movement and overall livability, especially as Obalende connects to strategic business districts in Lagos.


Following Mr Governor’s visit, there have been several interventions to restore order to the area, with the most recent enforcement and cleanup in December 2025 and January 2026 by the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources.
