For effective traffic management and safety around event centres and other places of social gatherings in Lagos State, the operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) have concluded all necessary arrangements to collaborate with operators and owners of event centres and other relevant stakeholders for a seamless traffic flow across the State.
This was made known in a press release by Adebayo Taofiq, Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA as the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa held a 'Stakeholder Parley on Traffic Management and Safety at Events Centres and Places of Gathering' held at LCCI Conference and Exhibition Centre, Ikeja, Lagos, today Wednesday, 13 March 2024.
The Special Adviser disclosed further that the Government would no longer condone indiscipline on the roads as slight delays caused by indiscriminate parking around event centres results in heavy traffic congestion which may take hours to ease.
He added that the stakeholders' parley was not targeted at disrupting events centres businesses, rather it was to ensure orderliness and reduce the travel time of motorists.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki in his welcome address made it known that effective traffic management around events centres contributes strongly to the safety of attendees at such gatherings and other residents in that area.
"The interest of other motoring public should be prioritized and considered while operators of event centre run their businesses".
"All hands must be on deck to ensure that sanity is maintained whenever there is any social gathering at event centres across Lagos metropolis."Mr. Bakare-Oki said
Also speaking at the event, the Director General of the Lagos State Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola, in his remarks highlighted the importance of effective traffic management around event centres including other places of social gatherings.
According to Mr. Mojola, "Lagos State Safety Commission is responsible for monitoring and maintaining safety standards around event centres, clubs and other places of gatherings"
While assuring the support of his Agency in regulating activities surrounding events centres, he, however, implored all stakeholders in the industry to comply with 'Traffic Management Policy Plans' to save travel time.
Present at the stakeholders' parley were Operators/Owners of event centres, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Toyin Aremu, top management staff of LASTMA, Commanders, and Zonal Heads.
