Dangote refinery: We’ll ensure effective traffic management — Lagos govt

The Lagos State Government has promised a comprehensive traffic management strategy to guarantee uninterrupted traffic flow along the Lekki-Ajah corridor.

The measure is in view of Dangote Refinery’s commencement of fuel distribution to outlets on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Mr Sola Giwa, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, made this known in a statement on Saturday.

The statement was signed by Mr Taofiq Adebayo, Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, Lagos State Transport Management Agency (LASTMA).

It quoted Giwa as saying that LASTMA had been fortified with state-of-the-art equipment and trained personnel which would be strategically deployed to oversee and regulate traffic flow within the affected areas.

He reassured residents and commuters in the Lekki-Ajah vicinity that thorough preparations had been made, urging them to remain calm and confident in the state government’s capabilities.

“In collaboration with relevant stakeholders, LASTMA has mobilised advanced tow trucks and emergency response equipment to promptly address anticipated potential traffic disruptions.

“Medical ambulance services are also on high alert to ensure rapid response in emergency situations,” the special adviser said.

He said that it was imperative for tanker operators to strictly adhere to traffic regulations, particularly during loading and navigation, within the Lekki-Ajah axis.

Giwa said that the state government would rigorously enforce the regulations to avert traffic disruptions and ensure seamless vehicular movement.

“The Lagos State Government reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding citizens’ welfare and maintaining orderly traffic during this pivotal period of industrial activity.

“All motoring public, particularly commercial bus operators, including mini-bus drivers, are hereby cautioned to comply with traffic laws refraining them from picking up, or dropping, passengers at undesignated bus stops.

“They are urged to avoid driving against traffic. They are also advised to observe all road signs, including traffic signals, among other regulations.

“Adherence to these regulations will ensure a harmonious and efficient transportation system,” he said. (NAN)
