Bolaji Oreagba, the general manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), has been removed by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Olawale Musa, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation, announced Oreagba’s appointment termination in a statement on Thursday.
He revealed that Bakare-Oki Olalekan has been named acting general manager of LASTMA effective immediately.
Musa noted that the appointment of Bakare-Oki “is for better performance, eradicating incidences of misdemeanours among staffs and continued efficient/effective traffic management on Lagos roads.”
He said Bakare-Oki joined the Lagos State Public Service on April 25, 2000, and rose to the post of Deputy Director, Logistics and Engineering Department of LASTMA before his new appointment as acting general manager.
The permanent secretary urged him “to justify Governor Sanwo-Olu’s confidence in his appointment by rising up to the occasion while bringing his wealth of experience to take the Agency to greater heights.”
Musa also conveyed the appreciation and gratitude of “Mr. Governor to the outgoing General Manager, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, for his commitment, dedication and meritorious service to the state.”
