Lagos State Government has commended the good Citizens of Lagos State for their endurance and perseverance in the course of the rehabilitation works on-going within the State.

Commissioner of Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde thanked the citizenry immensely for their understanding for the partial closure of the Third Mainland Bridge for maintenances works which has now progressed to the Island-bound lane of the bridge and other projects across the State.

He explained that government was not oblivious of the plight of the citizenry, assuring that concerted efforts were being channeled to complete the projects in record time to minimise travel time and inconveniences in movement presently experienced within the State.

Oladeinde urged motorists to be a little more patient while driving during this yuletide season, stressing that most impediments are caused largely by unnecessary maneuvering of vehicles by creating 5 lanes on a 2-laned carriageway, as well as the activities of ‘one way driving’ by both private and commercial drivers.

The Commissioner also charged Traffic Management Officers to put in their best by working transparently in line with the Traffic Laws, adding that more strategies will be implemented to reduce the inconveniences that have become a part of daily ordeals on the road.

While wishing Lagosians compliments of the season, the Transport Commissioner urged everyone to observe Covid-19 safety protocols in all the transportation modes of the State.
