The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, says the government plans to transform Oshodi into a world class Central Business District in 15 months.
He said the state planned to commence the construction of a transport interchange which would feature the consolidation of all the 13 city and interstate parks in Oshodi into three multi-storey bus terminals.
Ambode spoke in Oshodi at a stakeholders’ forum organised by the state’s Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
A statement on Wednesday said the governor was represented at the occasion by the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Adebowale Akinsanya.
He said, “The Oshodi you see today will be a thing of the past in the next 15 months, as a world class transport interchange will be coming up.”
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Urban Development, Mrs. Yetunde Onabule, said the concept of the regeneration plan was premised on a three-pronged approach, consisting urban renewal, environmental regeneration, as well as transformation and security.
Onabule said the new Oshodi CBD would not only reduce crime in the area, but also go a long way to address environmental nuisance in the area.
