Solomon Adebayo was panting. He wipes his face constantly with his wet handkerchief. His shirt is also partially wet from his sweat. He had walked from Iyana-Iba to Barracks Bus Stop on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, to evade the chaotic traffic within that corridor of the city, instead of wasting economic hours in the traffic.
However, the addition of the new officers to the LASTMA team may not be yielding fruits, as the traffic situation does not seem to have improved on many routes. It is still business as usual. At Cele Bus, the U-turn before the Apapa-Oshodi expressway, inward Mile 2, there are usually not less than five traffic officers of LASTMA and Nigerian Police. But a few metres away, at the intercept on the Apapa-Oshodi expressway, there is usually chaotic traffic as a result of those driving against traffic. The result is usually hellish traffic situation flowing to as far as Ilasa, about four bus-stops away, yet no traffic officer intervenes at the intercept at Cele bus stop.
It has also been observed that before nightfall, LASTMA officers are usually not seen controlling traffic in most of these troubled spots. This is despite Governor Sanwo-Olu’s directive in an Executive Order that LASTMA should run shifts and close by 10pm.
