The Ogun State Government has commended Dangote Cement Plc for donating operational vehicles to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), describing the gesture as a boost to road safety and traffic management efforts.
Speaking during the presentation of the vehicles, the Ogun State Commissioner for Transportation said the donation underscored the company’s recognition of the agency’s role in maintaining order on the roads.
He noted that the vehicles would improve the agency’s mobility, response time, and visibility across major traffic corridors.
“We are immensely grateful to Dangote Cement, which we are proud to host in our state, for recognizing the critical role our agency plays in maintaining order on our roads and for choosing to invest in our capacity to serve.
These vehicles will enhance our mobility, improve our response times, and strengthen our presence across key traffic corridors,” the commissioner said.
In his remarks, the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bakare-Oki, described the donation as proof of what effective collaboration between the public and private sectors could achieve.
He said: “It reflects a deep understanding that traffic management is not just a government responsibility — it is a shared civic duty that affects every commuter, every business, and every family.
“As we receive this vehicle today, we reaffirm our commitment to using it judiciously, maintaining it diligently, and deploying it strategically to improve traffic flow, reduce accidents, and ensure the safety of all road users.”
Bakare-Oki also praised the commitment of LASTMA officers, noting that their dedication had made significant contributions to road safety.
“With the new resources, their work will be even more impactful,” he added.
The LASTMA boss assured Dangote Cement that the vehicles would be put to proper use, while expressing optimism about future collaborations that would further enhance traffic management and public safety.
