At least 16 million Lagosians have boarded the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) buses in the last six months, Commissioner for Transportation, Prof. Bamidele Badejo, disclosed. I have been trying to do the maths since I heard that figure, the money is just too much.
Yet, plying the BRT from Ketu to TBS you can't move a 100meters stretch without experiencing bumps, you almost feel the bus is will fall to either side. It's much more worse a the CMS end of theBRT Lane. And I wonder, if the BRT lane, which only these Government buses ply is left unattended to for such a period, what hope then, do we have for the numerous State and inner city roads that are in such a bad shape have.
As much as I like to commened Gov. Fashola efforts in redeeming the pride of Lagos State. The pace of road rehabilitation should be doubled, given the sucess of the massive internal revenue drive being employed by he Lagos State Government.
PS: about revenue drive, yours truly thinks Gov. Fashola must have been an Igbo Man in his former life. With the different internal revenue generation formular he comes up with. The Guy is a hustler, or may be his adviser in that regard is an Igbo man.
