Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu<\/a> announced palliative measures to lessen the impact of the Naira redesign policy, which has caused a severe cash shortage in Nigeria.<\/p>\nThe state government opted to release vehicles that were held for minor traffic infractions to their owners and waive the fines as part of an attempt to scale up the palliative gesture.<\/p>\n
Since last Saturday, the automobiles have been released to their owners; the process is still underway.<\/p>\n
Lagos Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, in an interview on Tuesday said the governor had extended the palliative measures by ensuring that vehicles impounded for minor traffic offences were returned to their owners with the fines waved.<\/p>\n
According to Oladeinde, \u201cwhen you look at what the governor proposed, especially during the cash crunch period, we have reduced public transport fare by 50%. So when you go on our BRTs and all the Lagos state funded public transport, including Lag Ride, we have reduced the fare by 50% just to alleviate the suffering of our people.<\/p>\n
\u201cApart from that, moving away from transport, we have opened up food banks in certain areas. So we\u2019re beginning to give out palliative just to ensure that people get through this cash crunch period.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re happy that APC has won at the national level. And we are beginning to see some of these policies being reversed. So we\u2019re hoping that in a short time, life would return back to normal but in terms of public transport, I think we\u2019ve reduced fare by 50%.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oladeinde added that \u201cthere are some people that committed offences during that period and we understand the fact that money wasn\u2019t easy to come by. Looking at the governor\u2019s magnanimity, the governor has deemed it fit to ensure that people who committed crimes within that period and wanted to pay or couldn\u2019t pay as a result of the shortage of cash, they should come and pick up their cars and he has waved the fines.<\/p>\n
\u201cMind you, that does not include major crimes committed. These are just minor traffic offences that have been committed in Lagos and this is showing empathy and trying to understand that look, we understand how difficult it has been and it is not a reason for us to stop you from making ends meet and so hence the governor\u2019s magnanimity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The commissioner stated that \u201call those who have committed crime within that period should come and pick up their cars, that doesn\u2019t mean people should continue to offend and so right now, what we are doing is to caution them not to commit the offence again.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the cash crunch is over we arrest, What we are doing right now educating people, like correcting them to just making sure that they don\u2019t commit an offence again, but obviously if you commit a major crime, the law has to take his course.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Oladeinde said transportation would continue to be the backbone of the state\u2019s economy, saying that when one looked at the policies the government is implementing, they have helped to reposition the transportation system.<\/p>\n
He said the government had continued to test-run the Blue Line Rail system and that full operation of the rail system would kick off in April as promised by the governor.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are opening up the whole public transport arena so that people can have options. So we\u2019re going to continue to encourage private sector to bring in more profit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to move away from diesel which has been very expensive, and has made public transportation expensive. So we are now piloting some diesel, some CAG buses, and over time, we already have investors who want to bring in these buses and that will crash the cost of public transportation. So we\u2019re doing that with LAMATA,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
