Lagos begin enforcing the law regarding Unregistered Vehicles on the state’s roads

The Lagos State Government has stated that it will begin to enforce the regulations of the TSRL on the registration of all vehicles on the state’s roads. This is in line with the provisions of the law which aims to enhance the safety and protection of residents.

According to Engr. Abdulhafiz Toriola, the permanent secretary of the ministry of transportation, the enforcement of the regulations are aimed at checking the activities of criminal elements who have been using unregistered vehicles to carry out attacks on unsuspecting members of the public. This is because it is difficult for law enforcers to monitor and trace these activities.

According to the state’s permanent secretary, Lawal tiola, the registration of vehicles using number plates is a vital component of the security of the residents of the state. He stated that the enforcement agencies would begin the process of impounding vehicles without number plates in order to promote the safety and protection of Lagosians.

He stated that the enforcement of the regulations would be carried out through the registration of vehicles by the relevant agencies, such as the MVAA and VIS. He urged defiant motorists to make good on their obligations and register their vehicles.

He stated that the authorities would begin to enforce the regulations on the registration of vehicles on the roads if the owners of vehicles are not willing to comply with the regulations. To avoid getting caught in the act, the permanent secretary advised the owners of vehicles to contact the Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA) for the approval of the Temporary Vehicle Tag.

He urged the citizens to strictly follow the regulations and cooperate with the state government. The enforcement of the regulations is in line with the provisions of the Transport Sector Reform Law, which was enacted in 2018. He stated that the implementation of the law would enhance the security architecture of the state.
