The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the release of trucks impounded by the Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) during a special operation on Friday.
The trucks were impounded for impeding traffic flow on the Cele-Apapa/Tincan axis.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi on Saturday said the Governor ordered the release of the impounded trucks following a constructive meeting with Truck Associations.
He, however, warned that the State Government would continue to exercise its authority to enforce compliance and remove offending trucks as the situation arises.
The Commissioner emphasised that the move underscored the Government’s commitment to collaboration with stakeholders for the overall benefit of traffic management in the State and aligns with the broader vision of establishing a conducive and effective transportation system for the benefit of businesses and residents.
