The newly appointed General Manager
of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, (LASTMA) Mr. Bashir Braimah, told his officials that the tea party was over in areas of impunity,
in disciple and extortion of motorists.
Braimoh, who succeeds Engineer
Babatunde Edu, was Director Home Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs and Culture
before his appointment. Braimoh joined the Lagos State Civil Service in 1983 and
had served the state in various capacities.
Addressing the senior officials of
the agency, Braimoh said: “Gone are the days of impunity, indiscipline and
extortion of money from motorists. All negative vices capable of damaging the
image of the government should be done away it!”
Braimoh reaffirmed the commitment of
the administration to professionalism, through human capacity building.
He further urged the officials
to be focused and device scientific methods of unlocking gridlocks in Lagos. He
charged the officials to stop the old practice of chasing vehicles, stressing
that they should rather apply the use of electronic documentation to arrest
defaulters.
He called on the officers and rank of the Agency to
be on the same page with the current administration in an effort to reposition
it. He also admonished the officers to demonstrate discipline, courtesy and
civility when dealing with motorists.
He said: “You must never forget to always work within
the ambit of the law!”
