When the new LASTMA boss is a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, you know what to expect.

The new traffic boss in Lagos state, has promised to ensure a free flow of traffic within the metropolis, as opposed to what’s been obtainable in the past few months.

Chris Olakpe, CEO of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), says Lagos motorists will adhere to traffic laws, moving forward.

He said on Tuesday, that the traffic monitoring agency would begin the arrest and prosecution of errant motorists.

LASTMA will work in collaboration with Nigeria Police, VIO and others to ensure free flow of traffic ~ LASTMA CEO, Mr. Olakpe.

I have told my men to always be on ground. I also instructed them to ensure everywhere is clear at all times. ~ LASTMA CEO, Mr. Olakpe — LASG Monitoring Team (@LAGOSGMT1) November 10, 2015

Anybody that contravenes traffic laws would be arrested and fined just as the governor directs that we’ll be civil in our approach. Olakpe — LASG Monitoring Team (@LAGOSGMT1) November 10, 2015

You’ll always see our men on the road everyday from 6am-10pm, each of them stationed at strategic points in the metropolis. ~ Mr. Olakpe
