The Federal Government has proposed ₦142 billion for the construction of six national bus terminals in the 2026 budget, which has a total proposed size of ₦58.47 trillion.
The project was captured in the 2026 Appropriation Bill under the Ministry of Transportation, which was allocated a proposed budget of about ₦352.1 billion for the 2026 fiscal year.
The inclusion of the project in the appropriation bill follows an earlier approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in August 2025.
A review of the Appropriation Bill showed that the project was listed under the code ERGP30247534.
It was described as the construction of six bus terminals and transportation facilities across the six geo-political zones under the National Public Transportation programme.
The document showed a total proposed allocation of ₦142,028,537,428 for the project, covering both terminal construction and related transport facilities.
The bus terminal project was also listed as one of the few new initiatives proposed for execution by the Ministry of Transportation in the 2026 Appropriation Bill.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved the project in August 2025, awarding the contract to Messrs Planet Projects Limited, the firm behind Lagos’ Oshodi Transport Interchange.
If executed as planned, these terminals will provide standardised facilities for intercity bus operations, enhancing both convenience and safety for commuters.
Since taking office in 2023, the FG government under President Bola Tinubu has pursued several bus terminal projects across the country as part of efforts to modernise Nigeria’s public transport system.
With the new six-terminal project, the firm continues to play a central role in the Federal Government’s vision for a modernised national transport network, reinforcing its position as a key partner in the rollout of the government’s public transportation infrastructure plans.
