Lagos State House of Assembly has pledged commitment to supporting Lagos Bus Services Ltd. (LBSL) to expand capacity and enhance efficiency.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Mr Adedeji Temitope, made the pledge during the committee’s oversight visit to LBSL Headquarters, Ilupeju.

Adedeji emphasised the need for robust policy support to empower LBSL to enable the company to meet the evolving demands of Lagos State public transport network.
“Our visit today is aimed at understanding the challenges faced by LBSL and identifying areas where the house can provide legislative assistance.
“We believe that with the right support, LBSL can continue to deliver safe, efficient and globally-competitive mobility solutions,” he said.
The chairman commended LBSL for high performance, saying that the company had consistently provided reliable transport services, particularly during global energy crisis.
