| Lagos Traffic |
The Nigerian Youth Council (NYC)
commends the government and the good people of Lagos
state for recording another first in the drive towards inculcating a positive
driving culture into the consciousness of Nigerians through the enactment of
the new traffic law in Lagos
state.
We have watched for a long time
the deterioration in the habit of Nigerians road users which has been
exacerbated by the general indiscipline ravaging the land and have looked
forward to the birth of the political will to tackle this monster which has
claimed lives in great and avoidable numbers and are pleased that the new
traffic law is a step in the right direction to restore sanity on our roads.
The Nigerian Youth Council (NYC)
have also taken note of the public commendation that has trailed this new
traffic law and are delighted that it is a welcome development for our
democracy which is undergoing stress.
We have also noted the concerns
being expressed by persons and interests with regard to this traffic law and
are hopeful that this worry would be well taken care of in the pre-implementation parley being initiated by the government which is commendable.
We as well commend the
legislative and the executive arm of government in Lagos State
for giving us a people’s law meant to reduce the pain, agony and psychological
trauma that Lagosians are subjected to daily on the roads due to indiscipline.
Signed:
Comrade Peter Olawale
National President.
