Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the immediate release of all 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.
The Commissioner for Transportation Oluwaseun Osiyemi in a statement issued yesterday said the release followed appeals by truck operators in the spirit of the season.
He however warned that the state government will not hesitate to remove any offending truck impeding the flow of traffic.
“This move underscores government’s commitment to collaborate 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 benefits of businesses and residents,” Osiyemi stated.
