In a bid to ensure the ease of traffic on Lagos roads, the newly inaugurated governor of the State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has extended the working hours of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency, LASTMA officials to 11pm.
The governor made this known when he had his first meeting with Security Chiefs of the state at the Lagos State]] Governor’s office, Ikeja, earlier today.
Sanwo-Olu explained that the decision was hinged on ensuring Lagosians get to their destination safely while adding that the state would make laws to stop one-way driving in the state.
He said, “Lagosians are not going to wait for us any longer to maintain orderliness on our roads hence, I have invited all the Security Chiefs to witness the signing of the Executive Order so that they can hear us and support us in this regard.
“We want to ensure that we control traffic until everybody gets home safely. LASTMA should, therefore, extend its working hours and ensure traffic control till 11 pm,” Sanwo-olu said.
The Governor also charged LASTMA officials to ensure road users comply with all “extant traffic rules and regulations as prescribed in the enabling law.”
