Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has removed the General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Mr Bolaji Oreagba.
In his replacement, Sanwo-olu has appointed Mr Olalekan Bakare-Oki as the Acting General Manager of LASTMA.
Oreagba is said to have been redeployed back to the Ministry of Public Transportation.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Public Transportation, Olawale Musa, confirmed the redeployment of Oreagba and appointment of Bakare -Oki in acting capacity.
He said the appointment of Bakare-Oki is for better performance, eradicating incidences of misdemeanors among staff and continued efficient/effective traffic management on Lagos roads.
Bakare-Oki joined the Lagos State Public Service on April 25, 2000 and rose through the ranks over the years to the post of Deputy Director, Logistics and Engineering Department of LASTMA, before his new appointment as its acting General Manager.
He holds a Masters Degree in Transportation Planning and Management from University of Lagos and has attended several capacity-building programmes on inter-modal traffic management systems locally and internationally.
Musa congratulated him on his new appointment but urged him to justify Governor Sanwo-Olu’s confidence in his appointment by rising up to the occasion, while bringing his wealth of experience to take the Agency to greater heights.
The Permanent Secretary also conveyed the governor’s appreciation and gratitude to Oreagba, for his commitment, dedication and meritorious service to the state. (vitalnewsngr.com)
