The Lagos state Government Monday announced that it would henceforth impound rickety vehicles plying roads in thestate.
Mr Gbolahan Toriola, State Chief Vehicle Inspection Officer, CVIO, made the disclosure in an interview.
Toriola said non-road worthy vehicles in the metropolis would also be impounded.
He explained that rickety and non-road worthy vehicles had caused most accidents in the state.
“We are set to get these rickety vehicles off the roads to make our roads safe and to achieve the proposed plan of making Lagos Metropolis a megacity.
“With the enforcement of the new traffic law in the state, motorists plying Lagos roads should obey traffic laws, make sure that their vehicles are road-worthy and they should also obtain the required valid documents,” Toriola said.
He said that VIO had visitedLAGBUS and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) depots in the metropolis to prevent their rickety buses from operating.
Both LAGBUS and BRT are franchised transport companies under the regulation of the Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA.
“It is sad to see how poorlythese buses are being handled. We will never relent in making the LAGBUS and BRT buses road-worthy and worthy of emulation to other commercial buses in the state,” Toriola said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/10/lagos-to-impound-rickety-vehicles/
