The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said despite im­pounding and auctioning cars belonging to traffic of­fenders in the state, many drivers in the state still flagrantly flout traffic rules across the state.

It will be recalled that last month, the Lagos State Task Force on En­vironmental and Special Offences auctioned 44 vehicles forfeited to the Lagos State Government for traffic offences.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Gbenga Omotosho, the state’s Commissioner for Infor­mation and Strategy who defended the action of the state government said Lagosians must cooperate with the government in order to ensure a saner society.

The Commissioner, who reiterat­ed the government’s zero tolerance for the violation of traffic law in the state, noted that it would continue to prosecute traffic offenders until sanity was restored on the roads and law-abiding citizens were allowed to commute without being impeded by some lawless individuals.

According to Omotosho, who said he agreed with some Lagosians that there has not been total compliance with the state government’s direc­tives on traffic routes by commercial motorcyclists (Okada) and tricycles (keke Marwa), the state government in line with Governor Babajide San­wo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S agenda will continue to ensure that its laws espe­cially on traffic management in the state are fully complied with.

He said “First and foremost, let me tell you that the government is ac­tive and alive to its responsibilities.

Tricycles (keke Marwa) and com­mercial motorcycles (Okada) were not banned all over Lagos. They were only restricted in over 2,000 routes in the state.

If anybody says that there has been non-compliance with the directives, the person may not be totally wrong. But what I am sure about is that the problem is being effectively tackled by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration.
