Kugbo, Mabushi bus terminal to process 10,000 passengers daily, provide jobs – Otunola

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Planet Project Ltd, Mr Biodun Otunola, says the Kugbo and Mabushi Bus and Taxi Terminals are designed with the capacity to process more than 10,000 passengers each, daily.

Otunola disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday, on the sideline of the inauguration of the Kugbo Bus and Taxi Terminal by President Bola Tinubu to mark his second year anniversary celebrate in office.

The MD, who revealed that the terminals were also designed to accommodate 120 buses and taxis daily for both inter-city and intra-city travels, noted that the terminal at the Central Business District still under construction has a different outlook because it’s designed for only intra-city transportation

We can take over 120 buses here and we’ve designed this place such that it can handle up to 10,000 passengers every day.

“It’s the same thing with the one in Mabushi as well. The same concept but the one at CBD, which is the third one, is a bit different,” he said.

Assuring that the terminals when fully functional would boost employment, Otunola said each of the facilities will employ no fewer than 100 people.

He said they would cut across security department, ticketing department, facility management, control room, electrical department, mechanical department, maintenance department, and bus control.

“It’s very huge. It’s like running a mini airport,” he said.

He described the facility as a “transportation hub for the masses”, built to world standard.
