Lagos state is no longer one of the world's worst cities with traffic issues

Lagosians have been asked to obey all rules and regulations in order to have a traffic-free state during yuletide season.

The Lagos state government is set to have a traffic-free festive season.

According to the Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-governmental Relations, Mr. Seye Oladejo, this is only possible if the residents obey all traffic rules and regulations.

Speaking to journalists at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa Secretariat, he said the state government is serious about enforcing all traffic and safety laws.

“It is not enough to have safety regulations, they must be enforced and complied with to prevent avoidable loss of lives, properties and injuries. As a government which cares about the safety of lives and properties, nothing short of strict adherence to safety rules will be acceptable, relevant provisions of the law will be applied against erring individuals and organisations."
