Lagos State, MTN Partner to Transform Obalende Under-Bridge into Y’ELLO Bus Park

Date:

The Lagos State Government is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with Lagos State Government and MTN Nigeria to redevelop and transform the Obalende under-bridge into a modern, well-organised transport facility to be known as the Y’ELLO Bus Park.

This intervention will reclaim a space long associated with congestion, disorder, and safety concerns, converting it into a functional, secure, and community-focused transport hub. The project is designed to deliver an organised and regulated bus terminal, supported by a recycling drop-off station, a dedicated road camp for Lagos Waste Management Authority sweepers and security agencies, more than 60 public toilet fixtures, kiosks, and other essential amenities that directly serve commuters, transport operators, and nearby residents.

Safety, public health, and visual quality are central to the design. Solar-powered lighting will significantly improve night-time visibility, reduce blind spots, and strengthen CCTV coverage across the facility. These measures are expected to deter criminal activity and enhance overall security within the Obalende corridor. To address sanitation sustainably, a biodigester system will manage wastewater generated on-site, while a dedicated recycling station will help curb indiscriminate waste disposal and promote responsible environmental practices.

In line with the State’s climate and sustainability commitments, the project includes the installation of solar panels to support long-term energy efficiency and lower the facility’s carbon footprint. Tree planting is also planned to improve air quality, provide natural shading, and enhance the overall appearance of the environment.

The Y’ELLO Bus Park represents a broader commitment to reclaiming and reimagining public spaces across Lagos, ensuring they are safe, functional, environmentally responsible, and aligned with the needs of a growing urban population.

Together, we are building a cleaner, safer, and more resilient Lagos.
