Own a Shop at the Gateway to OAU
A modern transport & commercial ecosystem rising at Lagos Garage — OAU's main gate. Premium shops, restaurants, offices and business spaces. Now open for Expressions of Interest.
A landmark development, delivered at zero cost to OAU.
The OAU Transit Hub is a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) partnership between Campus Alive Initiative and Arcview Consult — designed, financed, built and operated entirely by the private partner. At the end of the concession period, the fully operational asset transfers to the University.
It brings together a dedicated transport terminal, retail shops, a food court and business spaces in one well-planned destination at OAU’s busiest gateway.
- Zero upfront financial burden on the University
- Professional management and day-to-day operations
- Risk transfer to the private sector, value retained for OAU
