The Lagos State Government has activated a comprehensive, round-the-clock traffic management operation and multi-agency urban enforcement initiative across key transport corridors and nightlife districts, as part of efforts to maintain order and ensure seamless mobility during the high-travel festive period.
The intervention officially designated “Operation Ember Months Stability” is being led by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and is structured to strengthen vehicular flow, enhance commuter safety, and enforce environmental compliance across the state.
In a statement issued by the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, the agency confirmed the deployment of operational personnel to critical traffic intersections, major road corridors, and active night-time zones, ensuring 24-hour coverage throughout the festive season surge.
The expanded operations will prioritize strategic arteries including:
•Ikorodu Road
•Apapa–Oshodi Expressway
•Lekki–Epe Expressway
•Agege Motor Road
•Island club and entertainment districts
According to Bakare-Oki, the intensified deployment is aimed at reducing congestion, discouraging reckless driving, and promoting heightened safety awareness among motorists and commuters.
“This is a proactive response to the predictable rise in vehicular movement at this time of the year. Our teams will be visible and functional day and night to ensure Lagos remains mobile, orderly, and safe,” he said.
The traffic operation will run in tandem with a multi-agency task force coordinated by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa, which has commenced a wide-scale urban regeneration and environmental rectitude enforcement drive. This effort targets illegal motor parks, roadside trading, obstructive parking, and other activities that impede traffic flow and urban order.
The Lagos State Government reiterated its commitment to maintaining a safe, efficient, and disciplined transport system, particularly during the festive months when travel intensity peaks.
