Lagos State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, resolved to amend the state’s
Transportation Law 2000, to prohibit any company from using an articulated
vehicle to convey its workers.
At a plenary session of the House, Speaker Adeyemi Ikuforiji directed a joint committee to look into the issue, and report to the House in January.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the joint committee included the assembly’s Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Public Petitions, and that of Transportation, Commerce and Industry.
NAN reported that the proposed amendment resulted from a motion moved by Mr Abiodun Tobun, who represents Epe I Constituency on the platform of APC.
Tobun drew the attention of the lawmakers to the use of articulated vehicles by some construction companies to convey their workers to sites.
“Recently, there was an accident which occurred somewhere around Ibeju-Lekki, where a Julius Berger vehicle, conveying its workers, collided with another lorry, and a lot of people died instantly,” he said.
Mr Rotimi Olowo (APC-Somolu I) said that using articulated vehicles to convey workers was insulting.
“I have been to Germany where Julius Berger came from; no company uses an articulated vehicle to carry its staff members,” he said.

ReplyDeleteGood for lagos people nd Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing to move a motion to amend a law but it is another for that amendment to be pushed through. This is not the first time we've heard of govt wanting to stop the use of trailers (let's burst the grammar of articulated vehicles) as means of conveying staff. It never saw the light of day. I get the feeling the Honorables need JB to settle them for the new year.
