Lagos State will not tolerate the recklessness of truck drivers when transporting goods on our roads.
The Vehicle Inspection Services (VIS) is to step up its activities in the government’s bid to stop such accidents involving trucks and others.
The government is also curious about the persistence of tanker accidents at the Berger end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the resultant gridlock that trails the incidents, spiralling through the entire Ikeja axis of the State and traumatising motorists and commuters.
On Tuesday, two incidents, one involving a tanker that fell and exploded in flames on Kara Bridge on the outskirts of Lagos and the other involving a heavy-duty truck carrying farm products around Magboro, left motorists and commuters stranded on the Expressway till the early hours of Wednesday.
The Government sympathises with Lagosians on the discomfort resulting from the attitude of careless and reckless drivers travelling from the outskirts into Lagos.
We will continue to engage the Ogun State Government as well as Federal Government agencies to identify the cause of the recurring Lagos-Ibadan Expressway accidents and fashion out solutions.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has been mandated to continue its support for Ogun State and Federal Government traffic and emergency management agencies by providing evacuation expertise and equipment for quick removal of vehicles involved in crashes on the Expressway.
Besides, the Lagos State Government will commission an inquiry to ascertain that the accidents involving tankers and articulated vehicles, which seem to have developed a consistent pattern, are not deliberate acts of carnage.
Such accidents have consistently happened midweek, specifically on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving traffic tailing onto the Third Mainland Bridge, Agidingbi, Ikeja and even Oregun, in many instances.
The Vehicle Inspection Service will step up its services to prevent issuance of Road Worthiness Certificates to undeserving vehicles, particularly trucks that are not fit to ply our roads.
While the Lagos State Government acknowledges the hardship caused by the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway by the Federal Government, made more unbearable by the crude attitude of some articulated vehicle drivers, it will continue to engage stakeholders at all levels to explore ways of addressing the thorny issues until an enduring solution is found to the menace of truck and tanker accidents on our highways.
In this manner my friend Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.
These are the EXACT same methods many celebrities (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
That's really because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps this thought has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain 7 years ago, while riding a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3.20 on his banking card.
"I'm very frustrated with living check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those types of questions, isn't it so?
Your very own success story is going to be written. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
