The Lagos State Government has issued a 7 day Vacation Order’ to motorists and commercial bus drivers operating on top of bridges across the state.

In a statement issued on Monday, by the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, the ‘Vacation Order’ was based on the need to remove every infraction impeding free flow of traffic on bridges across State.

Giwa said that the commercial bus drivers popularly known as ‘danfo drivers’ have continued to defy government order and causing serious obstructions around these bridges with great negative impacts on the integrity of the bridges and traffic.

He said the government has constructed bus terminals and garages for commercial activities in the state.

The official noted that the activities of the commercial bus drivers on bridges are contrary to provisions of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law 2018 as amended.

Adding that after the expiration of the ultimatum, violators would be charged to the Lagos State Mobile Court for prosecutions.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State government has reopened the Mile 12 International market in Kosofe council area of the state.

The market and the nearby Owode Onirin market were shut down on Friday for environmental breaches.


The Managing Director of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin reopened the major food market on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment.

He appealed to the market leaders to always keep it clean.

sorry ABUJA is your FCT , not lagos. Lagos remains the commercial capital of the Yoruba tribe just the same way Kano is the commercial capital of the north and Portacort is for South South and onitsha Anambra for the southeast. You really need to stop wailing over Yoruba matters
