LASTMA dismisses six personnel for inefficiency
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has terminated the employment of six officials.
This is in line with the directives of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission (CSC), following the recommendations put forth by the Personnel Management Board.
Formal disciplinary notices were issued to the implicated officers at LASTMA’s Headquarters in Oshodi, Lagos.
In a statement by the Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment, Mr Adebayo Taofiq, the General Manager of LASTMA, Olalekan Bakare-Oki, affirmed that the Lagos State Civil Service Commission had fully endorsed the Personnel Management Board’s recommendations, which pertained to severe misconduct and general inefficiencies.
Bakare-Oki confirmed that these disciplinary actions were rigorously implemented in accordance with the Lagos State Civil Service Rules and Regulations.
He reiterated LASTMA’s unwavering commitment to enhancing its operations and called on Lagos residents to actively engage with the agency by providing both positive feedback and reports of any observed misconduct, along with relevant evidence.
“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,” he added.
The General Manager also urged road users in Lagos to strictly comply with traffic regulations, warning that violations would attract penalties, including fines, as enforced by the Lagos Mobile Courts in accordance with legal provisions.
