Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) has warned commercial drivers to ensure their vehicle are road worthy, in keeping with the state provisions of the Road Traffic Law 2021.
Chief Vehicle Inspection Officer, Akin-George Fashola said this in a televised interview, noting that the peculiarity of the state makes it somewhat difficult to enforce total compliance but the agency is partnering concerned stakeholders to guarantee success.
According to him, the state government had repeatedly said the operations of Danfo drivers are indecent of the ‘megacity’ aspiration of Lagos and vowed to phase out the commercial buses but state-owned bus projects have been inadequate to cater for the transport needs of over 20 million people resident in Lagos.
Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service formally known as Vehicle Inspection Unit was established on August 2, 2012, by former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola.
