Lagos government issues quit notice to trucks and commercial buses on bridges
A 7-day ‘Vacation Order’ has been issued by Lagos government to truck and commercial bus drivers operating on bridges.
The vacation order was issued on Monday, October 16, by Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa.
Giwa, who noted that vehicles have been impeding free flow of traffic on bridges across the state, stated that commercial bus drivers have continued to defy government order despite series of warning.
The Governor’s special adviser also said that activities of the motorists/commercial bus drivers on bridges are contrary to provisions of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law 2018 as amended. He also said that after the expiration of the ultimatum, vehicles found on bridges would be immediately charged to the Lagos State Mobile Court for prosecutions.
He said;
“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”
