The Lagos State Government has ordered the immediate closure of the pedestrian bridge connecting Oshodi Bus terminals 2 and 3, citing safety concerns.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, gave the order in a statement on Friday, January 24, 2025.
Osiyemi expressed concerns over the bridge’s structural integrity.
The commissioner stated: “The order, in addition, mandated the contractor that handled the initial construction of the terminal, through the Office of Infrastructure, to place concrete barriers at the entrances leading to the pedestrian bridge.
