“There will be introduction of uniforms for drivers and conductors to signpost a commencement of decency, discipline and quality service to the people of Lagos State.

i hope it will be free?

Another money making venture for a party loyalist. What happen to those initiated by Tinubu and fashola in the past?

Are they not banning them again?

smart city in sight

Could this be real?

Even for those of us that are clamouring for a restructure of the country to practice true federalism, things like number plates should be left to the federal govt.

If they change the plate number, will it still be accepted in other states if the driver ventures out of Lagos?

Plates numbers, whether commercial or private are uniform in the country and as such a car registered in Lagos can be driven in is sokoto legally.

Lagos wants to frustrate these commercial guys so that they can easily intro D CE their new buses.
