"The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) and LASTMA in Lagos are really trying their very best, but there is still some room for improvement because Lagos is fast becoming a Mega City.
Day in, day out, the population is increasing and this makes the job even more difficult for the traffic managers.
I will advise the government to employ more hands in all agencies that have responsibility to manage traffic flowing and keep the roads safe.
That way, the job will be become easier,’’ he advised.
Afterwards, the transport union leaders urged President Muhammadu Buhari to do the same by ensuring the successful completion of the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan Expressway project.
