Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has restated his government’s commitment to enforce traffic and tax laws using all the instrumentality of the state government.
The state helmsman spoke on Sunday during the New Year thanksgiving service held at the Tafawa Balwwa Squeare in Lagos.
The event, organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs in conjunction with the first family, tagged ‘The righteous shall praise your name” was attended by the Deputy Governor and other members of the State Executive Council, SEC.
Sanwo-olu urged the residents of the state to play their part in moving the state forward by obeying the laws, saying his administration will not relent “in terms of enforcement of the various laws and regulations” which he described as the foundation of any progressive society.
According to him, “This year will be an important one for us in terms of enforcement of the various laws and regulations that have been meticulously crafted to safeguard our lives and property. Without adherence to the rule of law, no society can guarantee progress and prosperity.
“I, therefore, implore everyone of us, as Lagosians, to play our part in respecting and obeying the laws of the land. From paying our taxes, to obeying traffic rules, to disposing of our waste responsibly, to speaking up when we see other people breaking the law. These are all responsibilities that we carry as good people of Lagos State. “
“On our part, as government, we will continue to strive to make it easier for you to be law-abiding. Our transport reforms are aimed at improving the commuting experience for Lagosians, just as our emergency hotlines are there to make it easy for you to ‘say something if you see something’.
