One of the reasons they were sacked |
The Lagos State Government has sacked 174 officers of the State Traffic
Management Authority, LASTMA, for their alleged involvement in
corruption, overzealousness and others.
The sack is said to be a move to weed out bad eggs and reposition the authority for better service delivery and traffic management.

It was gathered that 34 LASTMA officers were sacked two months ago over cases
of corruption, fraud, overzealousness, among others.
The affected officers had their pictures and names published in the in-house journal of the state government, Alausa Alert, while the public were warned not to do business with the affected officers as they had been relieved of their posts.
Also two months ago, LASTMA recommended 200 officers for dismissal and their names were forwarded to the Civil Service Commission to determine their fate after the affected officers had faced the Personnel Management Board, PMB, a disciplinary organ of the state government.
