Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Planet Project Limited, Biodun Otunola, has said that no less than three million passengers will pass through Oshodi Transport Interchange of the Lagos State Government when it is completed.
Mr Otunola told newsmen on Tuesday at the project site that Terminal 3 of the project, scheduled for commissioning by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday (today) would become operational on May 2.
Otunola said: “Terminal 3 is ready and will kick off operations on May 2 after the commissioning on Wednesday.
“From what we have on ground, you can see that the terminal can take 4,000 persons at once.
“Terminals 1 and 2 are expected to be ready in less than three weeks. The terminals are expected to take care of inter and intra city transports. About nine million people use transport in Lagos State daily.
“What we have done is to create a state-of-the-art terminal that will ensure security, encourage passengers to shop as they are travelling and make them as comfortable as possible with easy to access ticketing system.
“We have CCTV everywhere to help with security, the entire waiting area is fully air-conditioned and with this development, there will be value added to the state.”
Otunola added that the interchange was designed for the affordability of customers, and also for passengers to travel without fear to any destination as operations at the interchange would be on 24-hour basis.
