Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha’s administration has called on Imo citizens residing in Lagos to adhere to the new traffic law recently signed by Governor Raji Fashola.

The Special Assistant to the Imo State governor, Lagos Liaison, Hon. Lisa Asugha, who made the call at the Imo State Liaison Office in Lagos, said the survival and development of any society must be rooted in strict adherence to law and order.

She said obeying law would make the citizens live better, make the roads safer, improve life expectancy and solve environmental, public health and safety issues.

“If we cooperate with the new Lagos traffic law, the state will change for the better,” the special assistant counselled the Imo citizens.

The new traffic laws prohibits driving on the BRT lane, parking within 15 metres of road intersection, using sirens and other noisy devices in a vehicle, failure to wear prescribed uniform or identification tag by drivers or conductors, driving or being driven on unauthorised routes, and herding cattle, sheep, goats or other animals on the road.

While assuring the government of Lagos State of the people’s orderliness, Hon. Asugha also urged the Imo citizens to see the law as a way forward for a better Nigeria.

Allaying the fear of those who said the new traffic law was too stringent, the special assistant said it would be friendly to law-abiding citizens.
