Read Time:1 Minute, 8 Second
The Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) has seized more than 200 unroadworthy vehicles during recent operations across the state.
This was disclosed in a press statement released on Sunday by the Director of the VIS, Mr. Akin-George Fashola, and signed by Mrs. Bolanle Ogunlola, Deputy Director of Public Affairs at the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation.
Fashola, who spearheaded the enforcement drive, explained that the initiative is part of efforts to improve road safety and minimise accidents caused by mechanically deficient vehicles.
Explaining the rationale behind the operation, Fashola reiterated that the enforcement exercise targeted a wide range of vehicles, with a significant number comprising commercial minibuses, including danfos and korope vehicles.
“The operation is not restricted to private vehicles alone, as is commonly believed, but extends to all categories of vehicles contributing to the state’s transport ecosystem.
“All vehicle owners, especially those intending to use their vehicles for commercial purposes, are urged to ensure they meet the required roadworthiness standards.
“Before commercialising your vehicle, make sure it is fit for the road. You can even take it to any of our annex offices for proper inspection before putting it into operation,” he advised.
He also assured the public of the directorate’s commitment to sustaining the enforcement exercise aimed at improving road safety and promoting a safer, more efficient transport system in Lagos.
