 ‘Conference Hall’ – Senators complain over poor quality of reconstructed Senate Chamber Senators on Tuesday expressed anger over the condition of the reconstructed Chamber, which they described as a ‘mere conference room’. Controversy has trailed the refurbished Senate Chambers since plenary resumed in the facility last week. Last Tuesday’s plenary was trailed by confusion as some Senators quarreled over sitting arrangements in the renovated chamber. During plenary on Tuesday, complaints over the standard of the Chambers led to a rowdy session which lasted for about 15 minutes and eventually forced the Senate into executive session. The Chief Whip of the Senate and lawmaker representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, who raised the issues through Order 42 of the Senate Standing Rules, said, “What is supposed to be a Chamber, has been turned into a Conference Hall”, a development which he said is not acceptable. “Mr President, I rise to make disturbing observations on this supposedly renovate

FUEL SCARCITY: LASTMA CAUTIONS MOTORISTS AGAINST TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK


The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has cautioned motorists queuing up for fuel at different filling stations against causing traffic gridlock that could impede the movement of other road users.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba gave the advice on Tuesday while deploying more officers of the Authority on traffic monitoring around filling stations across the State.

Oreagba disclosed that the deployment became imperative following reports of long queues around filling stations caused by motorists parking indiscriminately and blocking roads while queuing to buy fuel.

He expressed displeasure at the disorderly behaviour of some drivers, who queue up haphazardly and disrupt traffic flow around various petrol stations, imploring petrol marketers to ensure that their products are sold in an orderly manner that would not impede the free movement of other road users

"The scarcity of fuel being experienced is not an excuse to block and impede traffic flow across Lagos. We want our roads to be free. We do not want fuel queues to constitute a burden for other road users in Lagos", the General Manager stated.

While reiterating that efficient traffic management has remained crucial in the attainment of a seamless multi-modal transportation system in Lagos, he, however, sought cooperation from the motoring public to ensure that the T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda of the present administration yields positive results in terms of socio-economic development, as well as security of lives and property.
