Lagos Dismisses Six LASTMA Officials For Misconduct

The Lagos State government has dismissed six officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) due to misconduct.

The termination of their employment was directed by the Lagos State Civil Service Commission (CSC), following recommendations from the Personnel Management Board.

According to the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, the disciplinary actions were carried out in compliance with the Lagos State Civil Service Rules and Regulations.

He emphasized the agency’s commitment to improving its operations and encouraged Lagos residents to actively provide feedback and report any observed misconduct.

“I wish to inform the general public that this is an ongoing exercise aimed at purging the agency of errant officers. Another Personnel Management Board session will be convened shortly to address additional indicted LASTMA officials,” he stated, according to a statement on Thursday by LASTMA’S spokesperson, Adebayo Taofiq.

Bakare-Oki also reminded road users in Lagos to adhere to traffic regulations, noting that violations could lead to penalties, including fines, as enforced by the Lagos Mobile Courts in accordance with legal provisions.
