The Governor of Lagos State, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has clarified the misinformation that the Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) had been banned off Lagos roads temporarily.

He made the statement at the commissioning of the Ojodu-Berger Lay-by and segregated bus-park, Tuesday.

“I  reiterate that the VIO have been asked to stay off our roads permanently. We also advise the Federal Road Safety Corps to stay on the fringes and highways and not on the main streets of Lagos. It has become evident that these agencies contribute to the traffic challenges on our roads.”

The Governor also assured the people that Lagos State will employ technology to track and monitor vehicle registration and MOT certifications and will always ensure that promises made are promises kept.

“We will continue to rely on the support of all segments of the population for regular tax payments, obeying the rule of law and protection of public infrastructure.

That is the only way we can progress and achieve our goal of being one of the world’s top centres for business, entertainment and leisure.” he said.
