 LAGOS VIS URGES CITIZENS TO AVOID RICKETY VEHICLES FOR SAFETY REASONS


In light of the growing number of rickety vehicles operating on Lagos roads posing serious risks to the safety of commuters and other road users the Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) has advised the public to be vigilant and avoid boarding such vehicles.

This warning follows the recent apprehension of several dilapidated vehicles across different parts of the metropolis by VIS operatives.


Commenting on the development, the Director of the Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service, Engr. Akin-George Fashola explained that the vehicles, including one he apprehended, were in extremely poor condition. He described them as poorly maintained, with outdated parts and lacking essential safety features, essentially ticking time bombs on Lagos roads.


He emphasised that rickety vehicles have been linked to numerous accidents in the state, often resulting in loss of lives, injuries, and property damage.


Further highlighting the dangers, Engr. Fashola pointed out several critical issues common among the seized vehicles, including those with unstable tyres due to expiration, potential brake failure caused by makeshift repairs, and disjointed body compartments weakened by rust, all of which render them unfit for commercial use.


He noted that many of these vehicles operate mostly at night, further increasing the risks to unsuspecting passengers. The VIS Director, therefore, urged the public to prioritize safety by avoiding any vehicle that appears to be in a deteriorated condition.


Reassuring the public, Engr. Fashola confirmed that the impounded vehicles would not be released for further use. He added that the VIS is working closely with relevant stakeholders, including road transport unions, to ensure that Lagos roads remain safe for all users.


He also encouraged members of the public to report any sightings or experiences with rickety vehicles via the VIS complaint platforms at info@dvis.lg.gov.ng or through the Ministry of Transportation hotlines: 09020004000 and 09020009000.
