Introduction Of Lag Buses Will Unlock Traffic – Commissioner
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, has said that the introduction of Lagos Bus Services Limited has provided a well-structured transport system that will unlock traffic gridlocks across the metropolis.
Oladeinde stated this at the opening session of a three-day Strategic Management Retreat organised for staff of the Lagos Bus Services Limited by the State Government and facilitated by Alan & Grant.
The Commissioner, who spoke through the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Oluseyi Whenu disclosed that the present administration is working to invest in public transport reforms that will bring significant improvement to the lives of the citizenry.
He averred that the reforms encompass all modes of transportation including rail, water and road with the aim of saving commuters travel time, reducing traffic-induced stress and promoting socio-economic activities of the State.

Oladeinde told the management of LBSL that in “making Lagos State the 21st-Century economic hub of Africa”, there is need for an integrated transport system that will attract both local and foreign investors.
He maintained that in order to achieve the vision of a Greater Lagos, officials of LBSL have integral roles to play in assuring the public that there will be quick returns on their investments in the State through a swift, safe and secure commuting on Lagos roads.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Lagos Bus Services Limited, Mr. Idowu Oguntona, in his address, revealed that the objective of the retreat is to reposition the company for sustainable growth and profitability.
He assured Lagosians that LBSL will continue to deliberate on how to move towards achieving its mission as a company set up to provide smart and sustainable bus transportation solutions to meet the needs of a modern city.
Oguntona implored the entire workforce to maintain the momentum for growth, adding that the company is poised to deliver on all its programmes, plans and developmental agenda set for the current year.
The MD encouraged Lagosians to imbibe the culture of using public bus transit, instead of always putting their vehicles on the roads, to eliminate unnecessary traffic gridlock, reduce stress and scale down the cost of maintaining their vehicles.
