The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has sacked the General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Bolaji Oreagba.

In his place, the governor has appointed Bakare-Oki Olalekan as the acting general manager of LASTMA.

Bakare-Oki’s appointment is with immediate effect.

Giving reasons for the dismissal of Oreagba, Permanent Secretary Ministry of Transportation, Olawale Musa, noted that the appointment of Bakare-Oki “is for better performance, eradicating incidences of misdemeanours among staffs and continued efficient/effective traffic management on Lagos roads.”

According to Musa in a statement on Thursday night, Bakare-Oki ed the Lagos State Public Service on the April 25, 2000 and rose through the ranks over the years to the post of Deputy Director, Logistics and Engineering Department of LASTMA, before his new appointment as acting general manager.

He holds a masters degree in Transportation Planning and Management from University of Lagos and has attended several capacity-building programmes on inter-modal traffic management systems locally and internationally.

Congratulating the newly appointed general manager, the permanent secretary urged him “to justify Governor Sanwo-Olu’s confidence in his appointment by ri to the occasion, while bringing his wealth of experience to take the Agency to greater heights.”

Musa also conveyed the appreciation and gratitude of “Mr. Governor to the outgoing General Manager, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, for his commitment, dedication and meritorious service to the state.”

He could not control his men

...expected.

Probably one LASTMA officer has unknowingly harrased a low key person close to the Governor, now Oreagba and perhaps few others are paying for it.

He should have been sacked long ago, prosecuted for corruption and the keys to his jail cell thrown into the lagoon.

Bad boss with bad lieutenant and foot soldiers.

Good new to motorists in Lagos and hopefully, the new acting GM will be of good conduct with his subordinates.

Sorry sir. There is always another side hustle

He didn't monitor the junior ranks well... They caused this for him



.

And your father as prove to this claim or as LASMA performance been wonderful to question the sacking ?

It's not unexpected. It's like diminishing returns has set in.

Ok

Long over due, LASTMA is a rot, especially on Lekki-Ajah, this morning they have started their raiding of buses for Weekend contributions.

SO PE OTILO

The yorubanization agenda continues

Very useless, we will see where this agenda leads them to . Aren't there other qualified people from other tribes for this position?

He should his fellow and look for money elsewhere

Akpaamunsi:

The yorubanization agenda continues

Very useless

I don't understand

Congrats to the new AGM! Learn from the failure of your predecessor and pilot your team to success.

When will Sanwo olu appoint developers of Lagos.

This is unfair oo

Why not appoint people whose heads are as flat as the plateau in Lagos

May be the atrocities of his LASMA lieutenants have become unbearable and embarrassing to the LASG. Imagine that LASMA rookie that was struggling to arrest a suspected yahoo boy. Abeg wetin concern LASMA and arrest of suspicious criminals?

LASTMAN officers still messed up yesterday seized our car ilegally and still collected 10k from us

If you had read with comprehension, you’d have saved yourself this embarrassment. The guy said “Probably”. He gave us many case scenarios that could have happened leading to the dismissal.

Apologize to him immediately. Thank you!

Another yorubaman....we shall not take it, we develop Lagos for the yolobas

He can't put his officers on check..

They have caused him his job

Glorified thugs!

His village people and angry drivers must be rejoicing over his sack by now.

Do we still have governor in Lagos?
