LASTMA officials on duty
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has terminated the employment of six officials in line with the directives of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission (CSC).
The LASTMA General Manager, Olalekan Bakare-Oki, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, October 10, 2024.
Bakare-Oki stated that another personnel management board session would be convened soon to address more indicted LASTMA officials.
Bakare-Oki said the termination followed the recommendations put forth by the Personnel Management Board.
He noted: “Formal disciplinary notices were issued to the implicated officers at LASTMA’s Headquarters in Oshodi, Lagos.
“The Lagos State Civil Service Commission had fully endorsed the Personnel Management Board’s recommendations, which pertained to severe misconduct and general inefficiencies.
“These disciplinary actions were rigorously implemented in accordance with the Lagos State Civil Service Rules and Regulations.”
He reiterated LASTMA’s commitment to enhancing its operations and called on Lagos residents to actively engage with the agency.
Bakare-Oki urged residents to provide both positive feedback and reports of any observed misconduct, along with relevant evidence.

The LASTMA boss added: “I wish to inform the general public that this is an ongoing exercise aimed at purging the agency of errant officers.
“Another personnel management board session will be convened shortly to address additional indicted LASTMA officials.”
Bakare-Oki also urged road users in Lagos to strictly comply with traffic regulations.
Bakare-Oki warned that violations would attract penalties, including fines, as enforced by the Lagos Mobile Courts in accordance with legal provisions.
He emphasised that adherence to traffic laws was crucial to the realisation of the “Greater Lagos” vision, as outlined in Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s “T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Development Agenda”.
He noted that the first pillar of the agenda, focused on traffic management and transportation, was essential for its actualisation.
Bakare-Oki reassured the public of LASTMA’s commitment to addressing complaints promptly and impartially.
