LAGOS STATE ASSEMBLY TO STOP TRANSPORTATION OF WORKERS IN TRAILERS

Lagos State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, resolved to amend the state’s Transportation Law 2000, to forbid any company from using an articulated vehicle to ferry its workers.

Speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji directed a joint committee examine the issue and submit its report in January.
The joint committee included the assembly’s Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Public Petitions, and that of Transportation, Commerce and Industry.
The proposed amendment resulted from a motion by Mr Abiodun Tobun, of Epe I Constituency.
Mr Tobun highlighted the use of articulated vehicles by some construction companies to convey their workers to sites.
