The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) have agreed to enhance collaboration for traffic management and motorist safety on Lagos roads.

This is contained in a statement signed by Taofiq Adebayo, director, public affairs and enlightenment department of LASTMA, on Wednesday in Lagos.

The agreement was reached when the newly appointed sector commander of the FRSC Lagos sector, Ganiyu Hamzat, paid a courtesy visit to the general manager of LASTMA, Olalekan Bakare-Oki.

Mr Adebayo said Mr Hamzat articulated the shared mission of both agencies, which was centred on the seamless movement of vehicular traffic and the safety of road users throughout the bustling metropolis.

“Our mutual objective, as agencies tasked with managing traffic and ensuring road safety, is to guarantee unobstructed vehicular flow and the protection of motorists’ lives.

“Through closer collaboration, we can achieve greater effectiveness in navigating Lagos’ intricate traffic landscape,” Mr Adebayo quoted the FRSC sector commander as saying.

He noted that Mr Bakare-Oki expressed an unwavering commitment to strengthening inter-agency cooperation with the FRSC.

He added that Mr Bakare-Oki reaffirmed LASTMA’s dedication to refining traffic operations across Lagos, citing ongoing efforts to enhance the professionalism and operational standards of its personnel.

“LASTMA has implemented robust programmes focused on the continuous training and retraining of its officers.

“The outcomes are already becoming evident, as seen in the improved conduct and attitudes of our personnel on the roads.

“We are resolute in working hand-in-hand with the FRSC for the overall benefit of Lagosians,” he quoted Mr Bakare-Oki as saying.
