GM Bolaji Oreagba
Ahead of the Salah celebration, the General Manager, Lagos State Traffic Management Agency, LASTMA, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba has called on motorists to apply caution in their use of vehicles especially by ensuring the safety of their tyres.
Speaking at the Headquarters of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency in Oshodi Lagos recently, the LASTMA Boss, urged drivers to consult the vehicle manufacturer’s specification sticker adding that there is need for drivers to carry out routine inspection of their tyres.
‘They should always look at the manufacturing date of their tyres because a tyre expires after four years. We have been going to churches, mosques and motor parks to sensitise them’, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP gathered.
On the success of the sensitization campaign, Oreagba said: ‘They are more conscious now. We are also trying to check their blood and sugar levels. We are hoping that with this sensitisation, accidents will reduce to the barest minimum’.
As part of the festive period enlightenment campaign efforts, the GM of LASTMA also called on motorists to avoid overspeeding and consider the lives of others on the road, by ensuring that they don’t buy fairly used tyres.
