FASHOLA VS TRANSPORTATION

FASHOLA BARS MOLUE FROM LAGOS ISLAND

The big commercial buses popularly called Molue have been barred. A statement from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority on Thursday said the move was to ensure adequate monitoring of the operations of commercial vehicles and compliance with traffic rules and regulations. The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Babatunde Edu said this directive had become effective since August, 2012, but Lagos State Government, being a responsive and responsible government which believes in enlightenment before enforcement, decided to shift the enforcement to September 2013.

“LASTMA officials have been mandated to ensure strict compliance and impound any Molue that is found to have flouted the directive after September 4, 2013.” Edu said, “The government has not banned the operations of Molue in the state rather it has restricted their operations to areas like Orile, Iyana Ipaja, Mile 2 and Mile 12 and the prohibited routes included Iddo, Ebute Ero, Apongbon, Obalende, Idumota and CMS.
