Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, has announced a permanent ban on vehicles inspection officers (VIO) who were earlier asked to go on one-month training.

Ambode made the annoucement while commissioning pedestrian bridges, laybys and slip road in the Ojodu-Berger area of the state, on Tuesday. He also told officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to stay off the streets in his state.

“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, let me use this opportunity to reiterate that Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) have been asked to stay off our roads permanently,” he said.

“We advise the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to stay on the fringes and highways and not on the main streets of Lagos.”

He said as an alternative, the state government would employ technology to track and monitor vehicle registration and MOT certifications and de-emphasise impounding of vehicles on the roads.

“It has become evident that these agencies contribute to the traffic challenges on our roads. We will employ technology to track and monitor vehicle registration and MOT certifications,” he said.
