Lagos restricts trailers and long vehicles from moving around between 6:00am to 9:00pm

Lagos State Government yesterday announced thattrailers and articulated vehicles are no longer allowed to ply the city between the hours of 6 a.m.and 9 p.m. to prevent accidents following the fatal one that occurred on September 2nd.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation, Oluseyi Whenu, disclosed this at a meeting in Lagos with the leadership of the various transport unions in the State. He explained that the restriction was to ensure strict enforcement of the Road Traffic Law, which, according to him, was often violated by the trailer drivers. He said the government would henceforth go tough on any trailer that contravenes the law.
