SanwoOlu Issues First Executive Order, Extends LASTMA's Working Hours To 11 p.m.

May 31,2019



The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday signed his first Executive Order to address traffic control and management, fixing of potholes on the roads, sanitation as well as cleaning of drainages in the State.

While signing the Order, the governor said: “I think we have to make some points about issues that happen around transportation, potholes on our roads, blockages and rest of it, I think its something we need to tackle immediately”.



Mr Sanwo-Olu, who signed the Executive Order in the presence of Security Chiefs and the Heads of relevant agencies in the state, said the support and cooperation of military personnel cannot be overemphasised especially in the implementation of the Order.

Mr Sanwo-Olu directed the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to operate a minimum of two shifts by managing traffic until 11 p.m. daily.





“We want to ensure that we control traffic until everybody gets home safely. LASTMA should, therefore, extend its working hours and ensure traffic control till 11 p.m,” he said.

Mr Sanwo-Olu also charged LASTMA to effectively carry out their functions by ensuring strict compliance with all extant traffic rules and regulations as prescribed in the enabling law, adding that another pronouncement would be made soon to address the issue of one-way driving on Lagos roads.

The governor further directed LASTMA to come up with recommendations regarding their partnership with private operators of towing vehicles as well as collaborate effectively with The LASEMA Response Unit (LRU)to ensure quicker response time to removing broken down vehicles from the roads.
