The Lagos State Government is set to integrate mini and midi buses ( Korope and Danfo ) operating on the Lekki-Ajah axis into its Bus Reform Initiative. The Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on transportation, Sola Giwa, stated that the documentation process for bus operators interested in the scheme is ongoing, with 10 operators having submitted letters of intent to the state Ministry of Transportation. Of these, six have already been confirmed.
All participating buses will undergo physical verification by the Vehicle Inspection Service and Motor Vehicle Administration Agency to ensure their roadworthiness and proper documentation. Once verified, the buses will be branded in the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority colours and equipped with validators. Mr. Giwa explained that a framework is being developed to integrate union dues deductions into an e-ticketing system while addressing activities of hoodlums extorting money from transporters. The initiative will be test-run for three months before full implementation
