LAGOS GOVT RELEASES IMPOUNDED TRUCKS
By Agency reports
The Lagos State Government during a special operation on Friday has released trucks impounded by the Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Saturday.
Osiyemi stated that the trucks were hindering traffic flow on the Cele-Apapa/Tincan axis.
āFollowing a constructive meeting with Truck Associations, the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in his magnanimity, has ordered the release of the impounded trucks.
āHowever, a stern warning accompanies this gesture; government retains the capacity to enforce and remove offending trucks persistently.
āThis move underscores the governmentās commitment to collaboration with Stakeholders for the overall benefit of traffic management in the state,ā Osiyemi said.
However, he urged truck operators to align with the broader vision of establishing a conducive and effective transportation system for the benefit of businesses and residents.
