The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) Thursday terminated the employment of six officials in line with the directives of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission (CSC), following the recommendation put forth by the Personnel Management Board.
This was contained in a statement issued by the director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment, LASTMA, Mr. Taofiq Adebayo, who stated that formal disciplinary notices were issued to the implicated officers at LASTMA’s headquarters in Oshodi, Lagos.
He stated that the general manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, affirmed that the Lagos State Civil Service Commission had fully endorsed the Personnel Management Board’s recommendations, which pertained to severe misconduct and general inefficiencies.
“Oki confirmed that these disciplinary actions were rigorously implemented in accordance with the Lagos State Civil Service Rules and Regulations.”
He reiterated LASTMA’s unwavering commitment to enhancing its operations and called on Lagos residents to actively engage with the agency by providing both positive feedback and reports of any observed misconduct, along with relevant evidence.
“I wish to inform the general public that this is an ongoing exercise aimed at purging the agency of errant officers. Another personnel management board session will be convened shortly to address additional indicted LASTMA officials,” he added.
