LASTMA seizes 40 Vehicles operating Illegal garages
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has seized 40 Vehicles, 25 commercial and 15 private vehicles operating illegal garages and causing unnecessary traffic at Oyingbo, Ijora and Idumota in Lagos State.
The Director of Public Affiars in LASTMA, Taofiq Adebayo, stated that it was a decision made by LASTMA to restore order and ensure a free road.
He also stated
“Illegal garages have been a significant challenge in our quest to maintain a seamless traffic flow in Lagos.
“These impoundments send a strong message to all offenders that the state will not tolerate activities that disrupt public order and endanger the lives of our citizens.
“Our goal is to create a safe and orderly environment for all road users and this action is a crucial step in that direction,” Giwa said.
He noted that the targeted areas, Oyingbo, Ijora, and Idumota, are known hotspots for traffic congestion due to unauthorised parking and the establishment of makeshift garages. He said that these activities not only obstruct the free movement of vehicles but also pose safety risks to pedestrians.
“LASTMA’s intervention aims to clear these bottlenecks and enhance the overall traffic situation in these critical areas.
“Residents and business owners have expressed their support for the government’s action, noting the positive impact it will have on their daily activities.
“LASTMA has also assured the public that the operation will be sustained and extended to other parts of the city where illegal garages and related activities are prevalent,” he quoted Giwa as saying.
He urged all vehicle owners and operators to adhere to the state’s traffic regulations and cooperate with authorities to avoid sanctions. He reiterated that the government’s primary objective was to create a better and more livable Lagos for everyone.
He also urged motorists to take ownership of the roads and to promptly inform LASTMA of any broken down or abandoned trailers or trucks via the Agency’s hotlines: 08100565860/ 08129928503.
President Bola Tinubu speaks on CNG in Nigeria and shares how the benefits from it aren’t even helping the government but are going into the pockets of truck owners.
While speaking on his promise to help the refinery and the removal of the fuel subsidy to better the country, he spoke on CNG:
“Equally, the introduction of compressed natural gas — well, I will appeal to you: we will do more and encourage you, but ask your drivers to let the benefits trickle down to commuters too, because whatever benefit is coming from CNG is going into the pockets of truck owners. It’s not spreading as fast as I would like, but it should spread.
“The refineries you mentioned are going to come back to work. We’re just building a very firm reset and structural reworking of the economics of it.”
The Nigerian youth leaders of Ogun State call on the government for their support to advance youth development in the state.
For International Youth Day, Ogun State held a programme with Nigerian youth leaders, and it was shared.
“Ogun State is at a trajectory moment of transition and continuity, and it’s a political season. We are trying to ensure that youth inclusion is key in the next administration’s agenda.”
“A dedicated ministry will help coordinate opportunities for our young people and ensure that their voices are properly channelled.”
According to reports, fuel stations are reducing their prices a bit. This has become a general thing around Nigeria after the spike due to the removal of subsidy.
The prices are dropping to ₦1,275 and ₦1,299, going lower than ₦1,300 compared to what it was before.
