To curb traffic gridlock, Sanwo-Olu limits VIOs operations to three hours
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday banned the Lagos state’s Vehicle Inspection Officers [VIOs] from operating in the morning and other rush hours.
The move is to curb traffic gridlock experienced during peak periods.
It is believed that VIOs contribute to the gridlock as they normally stop vehicles during peak period to demand vehicle documents and effect arrests.
Sanwo-Olu, who addressed newsmen after presiding over the Security Council Meeting at the State House, Ikeja said VIOs would now operate on the road for only three hours.
According to him, the officers would now operate between 12.00 pm and 3.00 pm.
“We are going to restrict the operation of the men of the VIO to off peak period between the hours of 12 mid-day to 3 p.m,” he said.
