Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The meeting, held on March 16, 2026, at Holy Ghost Bus Terminal 1, Enugu, brought together key government officials, security agencies, transport unions, and other critical stakeholders to deliberate on the operational framework of the terminals.
Participants included the Managing Director, Enugu East Zone Bus Terminals, Hon. John Egbo, Ph.D; the Managing Director, Enugu North Zone Bus Terminals, Hon. Prince Emeka Mamah; representatives of the Commissioner for Transport; the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State; the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Osinachi Nnajieze; as well as representatives of local government councils, paramilitary agencies, and transport stakeholders.
Following extensive deliberations, stakeholders unanimously commended the Executive Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, for the establishment of ultra-modern bus terminals, describing them as a benchmark for transport infrastructure in the South-East. They noted that the facilities are equipped to enhance commuter comfort, improve security, and ensure a more structured transport system.
The meeting resolved that all transport operators must immediately commence operations within the designated terminals. Shop owners were also directed to begin business activities within the terminals, with additional spaces still available for prospective occupants.
In a key resolution, stakeholders agreed that all luxury buses are to operate strictly from Holy Ghost Bus Terminal 2 with immediate effect. Similarly, tricycles (popularly known as Keke) and town service mini-buses are to commence the off-loading of passengers at the same terminal.
Security and enforcement agencies, including the Police, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Nigerian Correctional Service, and other paramilitary bodies, pledged full support to terminal management in enforcing compliance with the approved policies and regulations.
Local government councils in Enugu North, Enugu East, Enugu South, and Nsukka also committed to collaborating with the state government and terminal authorities to ensure effective implementation of all resolutions.
Stakeholders further welcomed the recent reduction in terminal toll fees approved by the state government, describing it as a strategic incentive aimed at encouraging compliance with the new system.
The meeting emphasised that no unauthorised individuals or groups would be permitted to collect revenue within or around the terminals. It was resolved that all revenue collections must be conducted through a strictly cashless system in line with government directives.
Participants were urged to see themselves as partners in the ownership, protection, and sustainability of the bus terminals.
The communiqué concluded with the unanimous adoption of the “Use of Enugu State Bus Terminals Policy” as presented by the terminal managements, without objection.
