The Lagos State Government has devised a comprehensive traffic management strategy to guarantee a free flow of traffic along the Lekki-Ajah corridor as the Dangote refinery commences operations, distribution, and lifting of refined petrol to outlets on Sunday.
To ensure seamless vehicular movement, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has been fortified with state-of-the-art equipment and trained personnel, who will be strategically deployed to oversee and regulate traffic flow within the affected areas.
The Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Transportation, Sola Giwa, reassured residents and commuters in the Lekki-Ajah vicinity that thorough preparations have been made to address potential traffic disruptions.
He urged them to remain calm and confident in the state government’s capabilities.
In collaboration with relevant stakeholders, LASTMA has mobilized advanced tow trucks and emergency response equipment to promptly address anticipated potential traffic disruptions.
Medical ambulance services are also on high alert to ensure rapid response in emergencies.
As the Dangote Refinery commences operations, the Lagos State Government emphasized the imperative of strict adherence to traffic regulations by tanker operators, particularly during loading and navigation within the Lekki-Ajah axis.
The state government will rigorously enforce these regulations to avert traffic disruptions and ensure seamless vehicular movement.
All motorists, particularly commercial bus operators including mini-bus drivers, are cautioned to comply with traffic laws, refrain from picking up or dropping passengers at undesignated bus stops, avoid driving against traffic (one-way drive), and observe all road signs.
Adherence to these regulations will ensure a harmonious and efficient transportation system.
