Danfo Buses Will Not Be Banned From Lagos State – Governor Sanwo -Olu

Governor Babajide Sanwo - Olu , has stated that the yellow buses popularly known as ‘ danfo’ will not be banned from Lagos state but rather it would be remodelled to meet standards . Recall that in February this year, the state Commissioner for Transportation, Frederick Oladeinde , said the yellow buses do not have a place in the transportation master plan of the state , suggesting that they would soon be scrapped by the Sanwo - Olu administration . However , during an interview with Channels TV over the weekend, Governor Sanwo - Olu said it will be unfair to scrap ‘ danfos ’ as they have served Lagos residents for a long time . “ It will be unfair for us. These are important stakeholders . They served our citizens . They served Lagosians for a long time . It became the print of Lagos , the yellow buses . Let ’ s be very creative . Let ’ s see how we can remodel them without scrapping them out . We are collaborating with them . You know that our citizens now deserve newer models of cars . ” the governor said

He said although the buses were insured, the insurance did not cover “ unforeseen circumstances ” . “ Absolutely, we are trying to replenish them , we have started the compensation and the interesting thing is that we are working with a local bus manufacturing company . And it is going to come almost with the same specifications of the ones that were unfortunately destroyed so that Lagosians can have the same feel of the buses . They were insured . Insurance will never cover you 100 percent . ”
