“Go back to your village if you cannot obey new traffic laws” – Governor Fashola

Governor Babatunde Fashola has harsh words for Lagos residents who are not willing to abide by the state’s new traffic law: go back to your village and stay there.

However, if you chose to remain in Lagos, you must be ready to obey the new traffic law and the existing environmental laws of the state to ensure the state remains environmentally-friendly.

Fashola  disclosed this on Tuesday after visiting some on-going projects sites.

He  warned visitors and those interested in coming to live in Lagos to keep abreast with the details of these laws so as not to break them.

Mr Fashola said the state government would not fold its arms while some residents live in Lagos as if they are living in their villages.

He said, “You can’t continue to live like you are in your village here in Lagos. Life in Lagos is changing by the day. The government has spent fortune to ensure good environment, drainages, roads and transportation system. It is unfortunate some people are still living as if they are in their village.

“Please, if you can’t obey our environmental and traffic laws, stay back in your village.”
