The Lagos State Government has terminated operations of the first BRT cooperative run by the National Union of Road Transport Workers from the Mile12 to CMS BRT corridor with immediate effect.
This is contained in a statement signed by the state’s Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, on Thursday in Lagos.
“The termination of the franchise agreement with the operator is sequel to breaches of the BRT operations Service Level Agreement it signed with the state government, despite years of discussions and engagement to ensure SLA was adhered to.
“Though the SLA requires a one month notice prior to its termination, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, custodian of the agreement, had indeed given a three-month notice which the operator failed to honour,” he said.
The commissioner said the government’s decision had been communicated to the operator on Thursday.
