Lagos Ministry of Transportation placed an indefinite stop to the operation of its enforcement team, tagged M.O.T Taskforce.

In a statement, Sola Giwa, the Special Adviser to Governor on Transportation stated that the decision was made after an extensive appraisal and review of the enforcement teams under the Ministry of Transportation.

Giwa stated that the ban was part of measures to streamline Lagos State's transport enforcement activities to ensure that they are effective in accordance with international best practices. However, Giwa cautioned that drivers should not disobey traffic laws.

''The Special Adviser averred that Traffic Management and Transportation is a cardinal pillar in the T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda of the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, stressing that the readjustment of the enforcement strategy was to enhance service delivery to the people of the State.

He, therefore, enjoined the general public to report the activities of any unauthorised enforcement team still operating with the tag M.O.T Taskforce to the Ministry of Transportation for prosecution.

Appealing to Lagosians to cooperate with the State Government in its effort to improve the traffic situation across the metropolis, the Special Adviser gave an assurance that a lot is ongoing behind the scene to bring the much-desired change in the transport sector.'' the statement in part reads
