He said; “Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, let me use this opportunity to reiterate that Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) have been asked to stay off our roads permanently. We also advice the Federal Road Safety Corps to stay on the fringes and highways and not on the main streets of Lagos. It has become evident that these agencies contribute to the traffic challenges on our roads.”
The Governor also assured the people that Lagos State will employ technology to track and monitor vehicle registration and MOT certifications and will always ensure that promises made are promises kept.
