“Lagos State Government is always leading positive change, but to ensure the solutions are sustainable, similar actions must also be taken nationwide.”
The state’s Commissioner for Energy & Mineral Resources, Mr. Olalere Odusote, who spoke at the stakeholders’ engagement meeting with key representatives of the Downstream Energy Sector to deepen safety awareness of operators, said that the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led administration was keen to see that the downstream sector continues to flourish in the state but operators must stay within the framework of safety provided by the regulators and the laws of the state.
The commissioner, who disclosed that Lagos State had commenced the process of creating fully-equipped truck transit parks and terminals to eliminate the indiscriminate parking of trucks in the state, said that a technology-based integrated terminal management system, where tickets are issued prior to proceeding to the loading bays, would be introduced in addition to the enforcement of the yearly certifications for tanker drivers and trucks that ply Lagos roads.
In his own contribution, the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said that relevant infrastructure to facilitate vehicle testing would be made available at mutually agreed designated points to support the downstream sector.
