“Let me use this opportunity to reiterate that Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) have been asked to stay off our roads permanently. We also advice the Federal Road Safety Corps to stay on the fringes and highways and not on the main streets of Lagos,” he said.
Ambode said it has come to the notice of the government that these agencies contribute to the traffic challenges on our roads hence the need to keep them away and enable traffic flow.
He added that a new technology will be deployed to track and monitor vehicle registration and MOT certifications.
Speaking on the commissioned project, the governor explained that the objective was to ensure smooth flow of traffic along the express, safeguard the lives of our people who had to run across the express and project the image of a truly global city to our visitors.

According to him, “at the inception of this administration in May 2015, the traffic situation at the Ojodu Berger axis was one of the challenges we identified as requiring urgent attention. This decision was informed by the strategic importance of this axis being a major gateway into our State.
“Today, we are delighted that we have not only succeeded in transforming the landscape of this axis but with the slip road, laybys and pedestrian bridge, we have given a new and pleasant experience to all entering and exiting our State.”
The governor said a food court will also be established in that axis to serve as relaxation sport for travelers as well as an inter bus terminal.
He commended the effort of the team of engineers, architects and town planners who have worked hard to create an innovative solution to tackle the challenges of traffic in the axis.
“We will not stop with the Ojodu Berger axis. This is an ongoing process and we are working to create solutions to traffic congestion in every part of the State. If your neighbourhood or community is experiencing traffic challenges, be rest assured that we will soon be there” He added.
