It has been reported that the Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) will no longer disturb the panorama of Lagos state. Having been an irksome imposition in the lives of Lagosians for a good many years, they are only happy to bid the agency goodbye.

The agency was set up to enforce roadworthiness of motor vehicles in the state, train and test applicants for driver’s license, carry out inspection and issue reports on accidents in the state, conduct pre-registration inspection of vehicles and collaborate with other agencies to enforce traffic rules and regulations.
Recently, there was an outrage over the burning of an impounded vehicle by VIOs in Lagos.
