Some residents in Lagos State weekend expressed dissatis­faction over the violation of the directives of Governor Ba­bajide Sanwo-Olu by officials of the Vehicle Inspection Ser­vices (VIS) in the state.

VIS is a state traffic reg­ulating agency that ensures presence of sound vehicles on the road. The agency is a directorate of the Ministry of Transportation.

The governor, in Novem­ber 2019, ordered the state’s Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs) to desist from oper­ating during the morning.

According to the governor, the move is to curb traffic gridlock experienced during the peak periods as it is per­ceived that VIOs contribute to the gridlock as they normally stop vehicles during peak pe­riods to demand for vehicle documents.

According to him, the of­ficers would now operate be­tween 12.00p.m and 3.00p.m.

“We are going to restrict the operation of the men of the VIO to off-peak periods be­tween the hours of 12 mid-day and 3pm,” he said.

Based on the governor’s directives, the VIOs adjusted their schedules and were only seen in operation between the hours of 12p.m and 3p.m, a move many Lagosians ap­plauded.

However, since the com­mencement of the partial lock­down in the state, VIOs have been seen on the roads operat­ing as early as 9a.m in places like Ojodu Berger, Surulere, Ojota, Abule-Egba, Victoria Island, and other areas.

Speaking with our corre­spondent, Ogunwale Alabi, a businessman, said he chal­lenged some VIOs operating in Surulere on what they were doing on the road in the morn­ing but they couldn’t provide a satisfactory answer.

“I saw them at Alaka area of Surulere on Wednesday. They were arresting vehicles and there was a long queue due to their operations.

“When I got to where they were, I asked them why they were on the road but they said they were enforcing traf­fic guidelines on COVID-19. That, to me, is not convincing enough as they were stopping private vehicles, too.”

Also speaking on the devel­opment, Barr. Monday Ubani, former Second Vice-President of the Nigerian Bar Associa­tion (NBA), said Governor Sanwo-Olu should address Lagosians on why the direc­tive he gave concerning the operation of VIOs was being flouted.

“My take is that our laws and our pronouncements are obeyed. It is not in the inter­est of any leader to make a pronouncement after which that directive will be observed in breach. That is not how to move the country or the state forward.

“I think the right thing is to remind the governor – and I want you to put this partic­ular question directly to the commissioner or any of the governor’s aides.

“What has happened to the pronouncement which the governor has made on the operation time of VIOs which is now being observed in breach?

“But what I will say at the moment is that it is very con­demnable for a governor to make a pronouncement and people who are his workers will be disobeying that par­ticular order.”

When contacted, Engr. Akin-George Fashola, Di­rector, Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service, admitted that his men were operating in the morning but added that their activities are not illegal.

“They are not violating the law. You will also recall that there is a restriction of movement, the lockdown has not been fully lifted.

“They are working to en­sure that commercial vehicles adhere to the traffic guide­lines that have been laid down by the government in terms of passenger capacity.”

Also echoing Fashola’s po­sition, Bola Ogunmola, Public Affairs Director, Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, said: “I think it is because this is a special period that we didn’t bargain for.

“When you see them on the road, it is not that they are controlling traffic.”

Its APC government, obedience and respect to law and order is of no significance. We are in a anachronistic system where those in authority stampede on the those that are not. The most greedy government ever, PDP have their issues but these guys are devil's advocate and Nigerians allow it.

Very sad and pathetic
