The Lagos State Government has conceived a total package of comprehensive traffic management strategies to be implemented to guarantee uninterrupted traffic flow along the Lekki-Ajah corridor, given Dangote Refinery’s commencement of the distribution of refined petrol from Sunday, 15th September 2024.

 

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, revealed that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) fully trained personnel will be strategically deployed to oversee and regulate traffic flow within the affected areas.

 

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

 

He said, “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 emergencies”.

As the Dangote Refinery commences operations, Hon. Giwa emphasises the imperative of strict adherence to traffic regulations by tanker operators, particularly during loading and navigation within the Lekki-Ajah axis. The state government will rigorously enforce these regulations to avert traffic disruptions and ensure seamless vehicular movement.

 

He reaffirmed the State Government’s 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 from picking up or dropping passengers at undesignated bus stops, avoiding driving against traffic (One-way drive) and observing all road signs including traffic signals, among other regulations”, he advised.

 

The Special Adviser maintained that strict adherence to all stipulated regulations will ensure a harmonious and efficient transportation system.
