Lagos needs between 5,000 and 7,000 new buses to alleviate its transport crisis, according to Fola Tinubu of Primero Transport Services. The city, with over 20 million residents, faces severe congestion impacting productivity and quality of life.

Currently, Primero operates 500 buses on the BRT system, but demand far exceeds supply. The Lagos State government seeks private investment to develop a sustainable public transport system, which is crucial for Nigeria's economic growth.
