LASTMA NOW TO WORK 16 HOURS DAILY IN ORDER TO EASE TRAFFIC IN LAGOS

The Chief Executive Officer of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Rtd. Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Chris Olakpe has articulated a nine-point agenda which he tagged operation keep moving in Lagos.
Speaking as part of the entourage of Lagos State governor Akinwunmi Ambode during the inspection of some roads in Apapa today, Olakpe assured that the agency would work in collaboration with Nigeria Police, Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs), and other stakeholders to ensure free flow of traffic.
He, however, urged Lagosians to ensure sanity on the road, just as he called for caution on the part of drivers especially during the forthcoming end of the year festivities.
“I have told my men to always be on ground. I also instructed them to ensure everywhere is clear at all times. The message is clear that anybody that contravenes traffic laws should be arrested and fined just as the governor directs that we should be civil in our approach.”
“You would always see my men on the road everyday from 6am-10pm, with each of them stationed at strategic points in the metropolis. Because of that decision that each LASTMA should be on the road, I’ve set each marshal to a special monitoring unit,” Olakpe explained.
