According to CILT's Executive Director, Mr. Francis Ehiguese, the partnership was necessary.
“We are partnering LASTMA because we recognise the critical role of the agency in the control and management of unrelenting traffic challenges on Lagos major roads particularly in Apapa where the ports are located and during peak hours. Combating the stiff problem can be sometimes horrendous.
The situation is understandable if empirically analysed. For instance, information made available in 2013 by the Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget shows that Lagos has 9,300km of roads network with over 1 million people travel to work via public transportation while a huge number use private vehicles If road user in Apapa and in other part of the state keep to road rules and maintain safe-driving habits, traffic chaos would be avoided but the situation is contrary to what we expect,” he said.

Speaking at an event, he called the Federal Government to pass the Railway Bill.
“The rail system is still epileptic because the National Assembly is yet to pass the Railway Bill into law, which could have wooed lots of investors into it. The passage is going to mark the beginning of making rail respond to the needs of the society and Nigerians."
