At least five Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officials have been dismissed, while two others were reprimanded by the Personnel Management Board of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission (CSC).
This development was confirmed in a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq.
Taofiq noted that every recommendation made by the Personnel Management Board on the 7 indicted Lastma officials during their meeting on Tuesday, 19th of August, 2023 was ratified by the Lagos State Civil Service Commission.
He said, “While Five Lastma Officials indicted for corruption received letters of Termination of appointment’, the remaining two received letters of ‘Reprimand’ for absence from duty posts without leave”.
Similarly, the Acting General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bakara Oki Olalekan has stated that the disciplinary action taken was in line with the extant rules as guided by the Lagos State Civil Service Rules and Regulations.
Mr. Bakare Oki maintained that the Agency would only get better if and when members of the public shared their experiences, including positive ones, and provided evidence where applicable of perceived misdemeanours.
