As part of the University’s drive to cater for the welfare of its staff and students, the University of Lagos (UNILAG), in collaboration with the Lagos State Government (LASG) has concluded plans on the bus reform initiative services for UNILAG commuters.
The initiative, which is being executed by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), will commence in phases in line with LAMATA’s strategic deployment process. Operations along the “Yaba-UNILAG” (phase 1) and “Bariga-UNILAG” (phase 2) routes have undergone a test run on Wednesday, May 5, 2021.
Full operations will begin on Monday, May 10, 2021, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily at these locations and other locations such as:
- Ikeja
- Agege
- Ikorodu
- Iyana-Ipaja
- Ojota-Berger and
- CMS
In line with the central ticketing system (COWRY system) that LASG has deployed for use on all public transport schemes in the state, the campus bus services will also use the Cowry System for fare collection on the selected routes.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe, FAS, encourages all members of the University community to give all necessary support towards achieving a successful commencement of the operations.
