The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has launched a comprehensive, State-wide 24-hour traffic management operation and a multi-agency urban regeneration enforcement drive across major corridors and nightlife zones.
Designated “Operation Ember Months Stability,” the strategic intervention is designed to ensure seamless vehicular mobility, enhance public safety, and enforce environmental rectitude in anticipation of the traditional surge in movement during the festive season.
A statement signed by the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, noted that the agency has deployed its personnel to critical traffic intersections, corridors, and nightlife hubs, guaranteeing round-the-clock operational coverage.
This amplified presence on major arterial routes – including Ikorodu Road, Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, Lekki-Epe Corridor, and Agege Motor Road – aims to actively ameliorate gridlock, discourage road indiscipline, and heighten safety consciousness among motorists and commuters during the heightened travel period.
Bakare-Oki averred that, complementing the operational expansion, is a multi-agency task force, coordinated by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, which has also embarked on a significant urban regeneration and environmental rectitude enforcement operation.
In his words, “LASTMA, in collaboration with agencies like Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), LAMATA, the Nigeria Police, LAWMA, and the Public Works Corporation, conducted a sweeping clearance exercise at Apapa, Ijora, and Costain under-bridges. The operation resulted in the demolition of over 250 illegal shanties, the removal of derelict vehicles, and the evacuation of makeshift encampments that severely obstructed vehicular passage and created security vulnerabilities.
“Notably, the discovery of a dummy firearm and several dangerous weapons concealed within a makeshift structure during the exercise underscored the urgent necessity of the enforcement action and validated the State Government’s resolve to preserve safety and public order.
“More so, to ensure sustained vehicular fluidity in the newly reclaimed areas, all commercial bus operators who previously engaged in illegal roadside loading around the cleared under-bridges have been systematically relocated to designated parks and terminals”.
According to him, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has been directed to immediately assume control of all newly cleared open spaces, integrating them into the State’s mass transit infrastructure, particularly within the Ijora transport corridor, to foster orderly transportation and aesthetic urban renewal.
In a similar vein, the GM informed that LASTMA’s institutional readiness was demonstrated through the swift and coordinated intervention of its Rescue Team at the scene of a multiple heavy-duty truck collision along Kara Bridge on Wednesday, September 29, 2025 – a tragic incident that claimed six lives.
The deployment of high-capacity recovery and towing apparatus prevented additional fatalities and mitigated a resultant traffic paralysis that extended to the Third Mainland Bridge corridor. A similar prompt response was executed for another articulated truck crash at the Otedola Bridge on Thursday, September 30, 2025, ensuring full traffic restoration.

Thanks for the new stuff you have unveiled in your short article. One thing I’d really like to comment on is that FSBO connections are built over time. By bringing out yourself to the owners the first end of the week their FSBO can be announced, prior to masses commence calling on Thursday, you make a good relationship. By sending them resources, educational products, free reports, and forms, you become an ally. Through a personal fascination with them and also their circumstances, you build a solid network that, most of the time, pays off when the owners opt with a real estate agent they know plus trust — preferably you.
Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!
I have observed that of all kinds of insurance, health care insurance is the most debatable because of the struggle between the insurance company’s duty to remain making money and the buyer’s need to have insurance policies. Insurance companies’ income on well being plans are extremely low, consequently some organizations struggle to make money. Thanks for the tips you write about through your blog.
Another thing I have really noticed is the fact that for many people, below-average credit is the reaction to circumstances above their control. For example they may be really saddled through an illness so they really have more bills for collections. It may be due to a employment loss or even the inability to go to work. Sometimes breakup can really send the financial circumstances in the undesired direction. Many thanks sharing your opinions on this website.
I have observed that of all kinds of insurance, medical health insurance is the most debatable because of the discord between the insurance plan company’s obligation to remain making money and the user’s need to have insurance policies. Insurance companies’ income on health and fitness plans are very low, as a result some firms struggle to earn profits. Thanks for the thoughts you reveal through this web site.
I have acquired some new points from your web page about computers. Another thing I’ve always assumed is that computers have become a product that each residence must have for several reasons. They offer convenient ways to organize homes, pay bills, shop, study, hear music as well as watch tv series. An innovative approach to complete all of these tasks is a laptop computer. These computer systems are mobile ones, small, strong and easily transportable.
At last, content worth reading. It’s always nice to find postings like this one.
