Lagos dismisses 100 LASTMA officers – Commissioner

The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, has said no fewer than 100 officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority were dismissed in the last one year.
Mobereola said this while responding to questions from journalists at the ongoing annual ministerial briefing holding in Ikeja to mark the first one year of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in office.
The commissioner said the officials were dismissed for various unpardonable offences bordering on unethical conducts.
He said: “Up to 100 LASTMA staff members have been dismissed while many were demoted.”
Mobereola, however, said the state government had trained and retrained several LASTMA officials for effective service delivery.
He advised LASTMA officials to carry out their duties within the law and shun every tendency to extort money from motorists in the state.
