Vehicle Registration: Lagos Seizes 100 Buses

The Lagos State Government has impounded another 100 commuter buses over the failure of their owners to register and get their database captured by the government.
The government had before now impounded about 700 buses whose owners failed to register with the government.
The ultimatum to get all commuter buses in the state registered expired on 1 January, 2014 with over 90 percent of bus owners, drivers and conductors shunning the exercise until the enforcement began.
The Lagos State Government began full enforcement on 1 February, 2014.

Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa who spoke with P.M.NEWS at the weekend said 800 danfo buses had so far been impounded, out of which 100 were seized between 1 and 14 February.
Opeifa said government was displeased with the slow pace at which the registration was going as many of the bus owners, drivers and conductors had refused to come forward for the accreditation exercise.
