For involving in gross misconduct bothering on corruption, and indiscipline, the Lagos State Government has sacked 157 officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).

It was learnt that the dismissed LASTMA officers were dragged to the Personnel Management Board, a disciplinary organ of government to prove their innocence but failed to convince the board hence they were sacked.

The PMB, satisfied that they were no-longer fit in the service, while the Civil Service Commission issued sacked letters to the affected officers. It was further gathered that the sacked officers also had cases of corruption, certificate forgery, bribery and dereliction of duty leveled against them.

Source told SUN News the names of another batch of about 50 LASTMA officers had just been forwarded to the Personnel Management Board to look into cases of gross misconduct against them, as more LASTMA officers might be sacked in few weeks to come.

LASTMA officers are to an extent the best thing that happened to Lagosians, most saturdays when you have less LASTMA officials on the highway is a pointer to this effect. If the government can continue with this cleansing of the agency, then the menance of bad drivers would reduce to a large extent. I hope they could have a toll free number to call and report officers who are corrupt. Eko oni baje.

Hmmmn na wah oh,I just hope those are the main reasons why they were sacked.
Re: 157 LASTMA Officers Sacked Over Misconduct by Nobody: 11:15am On May 14, 2013
What do you expect before? I am not surprised. Lagos State government recruited touts into LASTMA and you expect them to come with real certificates. And to even think that these are the same people meant to be recruited as state police.

LASTMA officials Salary come from the fines collected from culprits. So my sources inform me that these LASTMA officials DID NOT bring enough culprits so no fines were received for their continuous engagements in the service. Fashola's crew is getting broke, they converted IGR and Fed ALLO to their own funds and spread themselves thin by investing in too many PSP- From toll-gates at Lekki Epe, to Toll Gate lekki phase 1-Ikoyi; Eko Atlantic City, Lekki Free Trade Zone etc, now they cant even afford to pay LASTMA but expect them to implicate road users before getting paid from taxes/fines from road users. Its a FAT Shame! Now LASTMA officials are sacked for NOT meeting up their TARGET number of culprits ..lol

i hope this was not facilitated by the fact that they dont have people in high places but sha, all the same if this was done correctly,then its ok.it is a step in the right direction because this lastma people keep acting as if they are deputy Gods.its time to show them that they can be subdued just like the next person
Re: 157 LASTMA Officers Sacked Over Misconduct by mediainspired: 11:54am On May 14, 2013
Why just 157? If they are sincere, not less than 10,000 should be sacked for corruption, incompetence and acute lack of understanding of their real job functions. Most of them think it's to set a trap for car owners so they culd extort N5000 or N10,000. Along with Lastam, those CBD agberos on Lagos island are the black spots in Fashola's garment that affect his rating.

this is just idiotic.thats like saying teachers salaries come from the schools or salaries for LAWMA come from waste-disposal fees.LASTMA officials were placed on salaries based on a structure.by the way,is it all lastma officials that are on the road?are there not many in their various offices?this is a new low for you

I have heard what you said from several sources before and thought it was disturbing, however, in this case, they may truely have been sacked because of their offences.

That may also account for their greed and apathy to commuters.

One of them tried to have my friend's car confiscated immediately it broke down on the road as if its a crime for your vehicle to develop a fault. Thank God that my fried is an SSS officer and also loves trouble.
