The Lagos State Government today issued a 7-day ‘Vacation Order’ to motorists\/commercial bus drivers operating on top of bridges across the State.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation Hon. Sola Giwa today issued this 7-day ‘Vacation Order’ based on the need to remove every infraction impeding free flow of traffic on bridges across State.<\/p>\n

Hon. Giwa disclosed that despite several warnings, motorists\/commercial bus drivers have continued to defy government order and causing serious obstructions around these bridges with great negative impacts on the integrity of the bridges and traffic.<\/p>\n

He confirmed that the present administration is expending huge resources for constructing standard bus terminals\/garages for commercial activities in every part of the State.<\/p>\n

According to the Special Adviser “Every motorist\/commercial bus driver operating along ‘Apongbon’ and ‘Idumota’ (Cater) Bridges, ‘Elegbata:, ‘Ebute-Ero’ and ‘Ejalonibu’ must as a matter of urgency vacate these areas as LASTMA would commence strict enforcement operation immediately after the expiration of this ultimatum until zero tolerance is achieved across the state”<\/p>\n

He added that activities of these motorists\/commercial bus drivers on bridges are contrary to provisions of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law 2018 as amended.<\/p>\n

Hon. Sola however affirmed that after the expiration of the ultimatum, any vehicles contravened would be immediately charged to the Lagos State Mobile Court for prosecutions.<\/p>\n

This 7-day ‘Vacation Order’ takes immediate effect from Monday, 16th of October, 2023.<\/p>\n
