The Lagos State Government has issued a 7-day ‘Vacation Order’ to motorists and commercial bus drivers operating on top of bridges across the South West Nigerian State.
The state government, in a statement signed by the Director Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq expressed that the order became necessary as motorists and 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.
Giwa confirmed that the present administration is expending huge resources for constructing standard bus terminals and garages for commercial activities in every part of the State.
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”
