LASTMA ,a real blessing to Lagosians
By Collins Nkwocha
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA was established in the year 2000 and it has become the best, most reliable ,effective and efficient traffic agency on the African continent having been able to train personnel from other African countries and other states of the federation.
The mega city status of Lagos makes the existence of LASTMA,imperative, essential and demanding and it has been able to adequately deal with traffic congestions on Lagos roads,effectively.
Immediately after the End SARS protest,due to the demolition and destruction of government properties,coupled with the attacks on government personnel across the state,LASTMA officials were not on the road for a while and everyone witnessed how traffic congestions almost enveloped Lagos state as people spent hours on the road and everyone had to acknowledge the importance and usefulness of the agency on Lagos roads.
Despite the fact that the agency is doing well in the state, some officials in certain areas have been absolutely magnificent as they have been able to neutralize traffic congestions in their areas, LASTMA officials at Cele bus stop,LASTMA officials at Iyana-Ipaja and the officials at Agbara,they’re really doing a wonderful job as they have been able to transform the fate of the people in their vicinities.
