Plans are in place by the Lagos State Government to redevelop the bus terminus at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Lagos Island.
Unfolding the plan at a Stakeholder’s meeting held at the Terminus recently, the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola said the project is important to the development of Lagos as a tourism corridor.
While noting that the TBS is a rallying point for commuters and of significance in the history of the State and Nation, the Commissioner disclosed that a world-class bus terminus will confer more respect on the State and preserve the heritage of the site.
