Lagos Government To Redevelop Obalende Under-bridge Into Eco-Friendly Bus Park In Partnership With MTN
The Lagos State Government has partnered with MTN Nigeria to redevelop the Obalende under-bridge into a modern transport hub to be known as Y’ELLO bus park.
Tokunbo Wahab, Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, announced the project in an X post on Tuesday.
Wahab said the redevelopment would transform the previously degraded space into a functional, secure, and community-centered facility.
According to him, the new bus park will feature an organized and regulated transport terminal, a recycling drop-off station, a road camp for officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and security agencies, over 60 public toilet facilities, kiosks, and other amenities for commuters and residents.
He said the project prioritizes safety, health, and aesthetics, noting that solar-powered lighting will improve night-time visibility, enhance closed-circuit television (CCTV) coverage, and help curb criminal activities in the Obalende axis.
The commissioner added that a biodigester system will be installed to manage wastewater sustainably, while a dedicated recycling station will discourage illegal waste disposal.
Wahab said the redevelopment will also include solar panels to support energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, as well as tree planting to improve air quality and beautify the environment.
He described the project as part of the state government’s efforts to reclaim public spaces and make them functional, sustainable, and safe for residents.
