Lagos Govt bans the movement of trailers between 6am and 9pm

Due to frequently cases of accidents caused by articulated trucks, Lagos state government has now declared it an  offence for heavy duty vehicles, such as trailers and trucks, to move between 6am and 9pm.

Ministry of Transportation Permanent Secretary, Mr Oluseyi Whenu told reporters on Saturday that trailer contravened Section 2 (i) and 2 (ii) of the Traffic Law.

Government, he said, would, henceforth, go tough against any trailer and long vehicle that contravened the law, adding that the vehicle will be impounded and the owner fined.
