IKEJA—Lagos State Government, yesterday, issued a nine-day ultimatum to commercial vehicle operators, who are yet to paint their vehicles to the approved yellow and black stripes colour of the state to comply or get them impounded.

The government also ordered all Student Union Governments, SUG and Army cantonment buses operating on the highways to desist immediately and restrict their services to the approved routes.

Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, said: “This ultimatum is meant to restore sanity to our roads and ensure the protection of lives and property of residents of the state.”

Opeifa said:“Henceforth, no inscription such as Gallant Mopol, Competent Handicap, AWUA, Disable Sports, Student Union and others, are authorised to be written on any commercial vehicle that operates within the state and those, who have the inscription on them should get them removed immediately.”
