The Gidi Government has given a 3-day ultimatum to owners of abandoned vehicles in the state to remove them forthwith, or have such contraptions impounded.
The deadline: Monday, January 28, 2013. . . that's the last date you have to leave your metallic death traps on the roads and streets.
According to Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, owners of such vehicles especially in Surulere, Mainland, Mushin, Agege, and other Local Governments, should remove their vehicles immediately as members of the Committee on Abandoned and Disused vehicles would commence a state wide removal of abandoned vehicles.
He warned that any vehicle which could serve as a haven for criminals, impede free flow of traffic or threaten the safety and security of the people will be removed. . .
. . . Without hesitation.
Remember those mechanics you'd normally see on the side of the road from the Third Mainland Bridge straight to the Federal Road Safety Commission office at Sura, Ilubirin?
Well, the mechanics you see today, you shall see no more.
They've been advised to vacate the stretch within three days, or face the music.
Oh, yeah, least I forget? The Commissioner has asked residents and Community Development Associations to send texts to the following numbers or send an e-mail to transportinfo@lagosstate.gov.ng, whenever they see any abandoned vehicle in their vicinity: 08032226544, 08094490867, 08174616936.
They're basically asking you to snitch on your neighbours.
But it's cool. . . Most of us don't really like our neighbours that much anyway.
