No fewer than 440 persons, comprising 38 landlords and 402 tenants, have received compensation following the acquisition of their property around Ojuelegba to facilitate the implementation of the Quality Bus Corridor infrastructure project.

The project, being jointly funded by the Lagos State Government and the French Development Agency, will facilitate priority bus services between Ojuelegba and Cele Bus stop along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.

The compensation payment is part of LAMATA’s commitment to ensuring fair and transparent treatment for all stakeholders affected by the projects.

Managing Director of LAMATA, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, who expressed appreciation for the continued cooperation of the landlords and other stakeholders in the community, said that their support was instrumental in smoothly advancing the project.

She, therefore, encouraged stakeholders to maintain their positive engagement, noting that the project is ultimately for the welfare and improvement of living standards for everyone in the area.

The LAMATA boss also encouraged the Community Development Association (CDA) to nominate local youths to join the construction workforce, furthering LAMATA’s goal of empowering the community.

Also, the Managing Director of Global Impact Environmental Consulting, Dr Babatunde Osho, who is overseeing the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) implementation, reiterated the project’s objectives and assured those present of the firm’s commitment to sustainable, responsible development practices.
