Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, Commissioner for Transportation, Lagos State
The Lagos state government is not just improving public transportation arbitrarily but is methodical and takes cognizance of continuous preservation of the environment nay the citizenry hence, it collaborates with private concerns to ship into the state, buses that use Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), as fuel.
With the same goal of making the environment better, and healthier for Lagosians, the state government has also created a conducive environment for private investors to thrive. To this end, one of the private business entities has shipped into Lagos state 250 electric cars.
According to the commissioner for transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the state government created the enabling environment for such automobiles that will not compound the toxic in the air but positively impact the conservation of the environment from air pollution through emission.
Osiyemi further revealed that the recently introduced Traffic Management Solution Device (TMS) had paid off, as its adoption had captured 26,816 real-time traffic infringements over the last three months, thus making enforcement more effective and safe for officers to perform their statutory duties.
.He said the government is not resting on its oars as alternative means of conveying about 15 million commuters daily, within the metropolis will continue to be explored.
Hence, Osiyemi said the government will continue on transportation infrastructure expansion within the metropolis, as exemplified in the development of the deep port in Badagry, and the construction of the 4th Mainland bridge, both of which will commence soon.
The Honourable Commission for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotosho, in his opening remarks, described how important the Transportation Sector is to the economy and the well-being of Lagosians.
