The day after LAGBUS protest in Lagos

Idowu Oguntona, managing director, LAGBUS Asset Management Tuesday told journalists in Alausa, Lagos, south-west Nigeria that the crises that erupted Monday over the issues relating to operation of the red and blue buses have been resolved.

Vicnuel recalls that commuters and area boys clashed over the ban by the state government of red buses from plying the BRT lane on Ikorodu corridor.

But, Oguntona, said the 9 LAGBUS drivers and ticketers arrested during the protest had been released by the police and that the situation was now normal.

According to him, the management of LAGBUS Asset Management and stakeholders had brokered truce and resolved the crisis.

His words: “Despite the various stakeholders’ engagement sessions, our bus captains reacted to the directive on the restriction of movement of LAGBUS branded buses on Ikorodu corridor by boycotting work due to security concerns, including potential wrath of passengers and road side miscreants.”
