Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has charged the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, on what is expected of them from Lagosians.
This was after he paid a visit to the Oshodi office of the authority on Friday, where he urged officials against bribery and corruption while discharging their duties
“Lagosians expect a corrupt -free LASTMA that will not be collecting bribes. Therefore , you should be respectful and courteous even when you are going to arrest an offender .
“Lagosians want LASTMA that is decent and neat ; we don ’ t want laziness and lateness to work . Be my advocates, ” the governor said.
“There are rules that guide the operation of commercial motorcycles ; Lagos law already states that no Okada should operate on some roads , although , we would meet with the security operatives on what we should do.
“We are not going to condone people obstructing our roads . I ’ m now warning all those parking their vehicles on the road , such as importers of Tokunbo vehicles, to comply by removing them from the road .
“We will come one day and take all the vehicles off the road ; people should provide space for their businesses , ” he warned.
He also warned government officials, their family and their friends against violating traffic rules .
“I will tell my cabinet members that if you are caught or apprehended violating traffic rules , you will pay , ” he said.
