Lagos clear trucks hindering vehicular movement on Cele, Mile-2, Tincan road

Lagos State government has cleared articulated vehicles restricting vehicular movement and indiscriminate parking along Cele bus stop inward Tincan Port axis.

Jubril Gawat, media aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, confirmed the operation on his X handle.

According to Gawat, Friday, December 22, at 12:30 am, the General Manager, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Olalekan Bakare Oki, led a heavy enforcement team to clear off articulated trucks that defied the order of the state government.

The LASTMA Team, backed up by Commander Mopol 20 and the Head of the Special Intervention team, ACP Bayo Sulaiman led the operation.

Several efforts to remove the tankers and truckers from the axis have failed, as recalcitrant drivers ignored the state’s directive to vacate in times past.

Gawat noted that the Special Adviser on Transportation, Sola Giwa assured that the enforcement will be a continuous one.

Giwa had said the initial directive given underscores the commitment of the state government to ensuring the smooth flow of traffic.

He said the move will minimize disruptions caused by the persistent presence of these heavy-duty vehicles in the specified location.
