Meets with stakeholders and Lagos Police over a planned protest by commercial drivers
The Lagos Police Command met with interested parties to discuss the planned protest by state-wide public transportation drivers that is set to take place today, Monday, November 13.


The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State Government, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), and the leadership of the Police Command attended the meeting, according to a statement issued by SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos Police.


According to Hundeyin, pertinent issues and worries brought forth by the commercial drivers were thoroughly examined.


After the conference, the parties decided to cooperate in order to make sure that carriers followed all traffic laws and that the state's law enforcement agencies were held accountable for their actions. This was stated by Hundeyin.


Furthermore, he reported that late on Sunday night, the NURTW decided to have a larger meeting today.


Deputy Commissioners of Police Waheed Ayilara (SCID), Fatai Tijani (Operations), Khan Salihu (Administration), Commander Taskforce – CSP Shola Jejeloye, and Commander Rapid Response Squad (RRS) – CSP Yinka Egbeyemi were present at the meeting.


Other attendees include the Honorable Sola Giwa, the Governor's Special Advisor on Transportation, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, General Manager of LASTMA, and representatives from the NURTW Lagos Chapter, which is led by Alhaji Sulyman Ojora (Kudeti).


"The Lagos State Police Command uses this medium to encourage Lagosians to carry out their lawful duties without fear of harassment or intimidation, and to reassure Lagosians that the Command has made adequate deployments in line with prioritizing their safety and security," added Hundeyin.
