The Lagos State Government has issued a seven-day ‘Vacation Order’ to motorists and commercial bus drivers operating on top of bridges across the state.
The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, SOLA GIWA, said the ‘Vacation Order’ was based on the need to remove every infraction impeding the free flow of traffic on bridges across State.
He said that despite several warnings, commercial bus drivers popularly known as ‘danfo drivers’ have continued to defy government orders and cause serious obstructions around these bridges with great negative impacts on the integrity of the bridges and traffic.
GIWA said the government has constructed bus terminals and garages for commercial activities in the state.
He warned that after the expiration of the ultimatum, violators would be charged to the Lagos State Mobile Court for prosecution.
