The chief executives officer of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, AIG (Chief) Chris Olakpe mni (Rtd) has appealed to Lagosians to work in synergy with the officials of Lastma so as to curb the excesses of some of the officials whose  conduct are likely not in accordance with the act setting up Lastma.

He made this appeal on a radio programme on the 17^th of March 2017 at Metro Fm 97.7 anchored by Cordilia Okpei while reacting to some of the issues raised by some callers who called into the programme to share some of their experiences with Lastma Officials.

Olakpe who frowned at some the excesses of some of his officials appealed to Lagosians to always co cooperate with the Lastma officials who are discharging their duties diligently, while encouraging members of the public to also report officials who indulge in criminal activities in order to smear the good name of Lastma.

He used the medium to give out some phone numbers to reach out to the public complaints unit of Lastma, stressing that he will do his best to bring sanity and instill discipline among the officials of the agency and pointed out that in some occasions when such reports of demeanour gets to him, such officers are asked to do frog jump for minutes as punishment to serve as deterrent to others who might want to indulge in such practices.

“In the course of the above we are discussing with the police and others security agencies for collaboration to decongest traffic in Lagos. We therefore urge you as members of the public to also cooperate with us in the course of discharging our duties” he said.
