I remember what happened when they tried to implement this policy c1999.

Two things that Governor Tinubu talked about as soon as he took office were (1) the return of mission schools to their owners and (2) the MOT programme.

Lagos had for long been known for its rickety danfo and molue buses. The government made it mandatory for all public buses to undergo the Ministry of Transportation (MOT) test. Vehicles that were not road worthy would not be allowed on the road. He had reached out to the auto assembly plants in Nigeria (PAN, VON, etc.) and major car companies to assist public bus owners to repair their vehicles at a discount.

Then the police and the newly formed LASTMA started impounding the buses and that's when the NURTW decided to show its power.

I went out to see things for myself and you won't believe what I saw. NURTW went on strike. There were massive crowds at bus stops as people who went out earlier in the day could not go back home because of lack of buses. Danfo buses were arriving at bus stops just to mock passengers. The conductors would call destinations and people would rush towards the buses, but they would speed off as soon as the crowd got near. Bus conductors were telling people to go and call Tinubu to come and carry them. I also saw a long convoy of danfo buses on Ikorodu Road and I learnt that they were on their way to Alausa. Okada riders made a killing on that day. Lagosians blamed the "wicked new governor" for their problems. People were calling in to radio shows to berate the government.

Then on the third or fourth day the government capitulated. The NURTW had won.

It'd be very interesting to see how they'll implement it this time.

Lagos government should hasten it up biko, I'm in support

itsme01:




Nice one, they should check level of carbon emission especially for trucks

People wonder why I like Lagos Administrators past and present, from Tinubu ,Fashola ,Ambode to Sanwo-Olu... It's because they are never afraid to cause trouble if it is what Lagos needs to grow

For private car owners. If government means business, they shouid start with commercial vehicles. They shouid leave private car owners alone.

onuman:
This rule has been operating in saner countries since Adam. Thanks Dr Commissioner for Transportation.

The articulated lorries, container lorries, tankers, and other heavy goods vehicles must be focused on for a start.
Every year, they must come to the appointed and trusted mechanic workshops for review of roadworthiness for their vehicles.

But this is supposed to be a nationwide rule.

blockgeek69:
That one na for paper... Just flash an officer 5 pieces of 1k mint note, he will ask if you need the papers to be delivered to your doorstep or not

itsme01:
It's for all cars as road Worthiness is part of vehicle papers annual renewal

Geeman2006:
Most Nigerians Don't like to do the right thing.
It's for our safety and benefit if done the right way, but alot will still try and cut corners concerning this.
I still admire Lagos no nonsense way of dealing with offenders even though sometimes high handed.
Let's see how it will be implemented.
