Lagos state government has assured residents affected by major projects of proper documentation and due compensation as stipulated by the law.
Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) restated this during a stakeholder’s engagement meeting with project-affected persons (PAP) on Phase 1 of the Quality Bus Corridor (QBC) project.
The delegation led by deputy director, road and infrastructure, Olufemi Fayombo met with residents potentially impacted by the project, assuring them that the government would only take the minimal space required for construction based on the approved design.
The QBC initiative aims to improve public transportation by rehabilitating existing bus stops, introducing walkways to promote non-motorized transport, and implementing an Intelligent Transport
System (ITS). QBC 1 focuses on the Yaba, Lawanson, Ijesha, and Cele corridors, covering a distance of 8.6 kilometers.
This engagement session comes ahead of the project’s kick-off between Q2 & Q3 2024.
