Lagos Records Increase In Request Fro Training By Commercial, Professional Drivers

The Lagos State Drivers’ Institute, has recorded an increase in the request by commercial and professional drivers seeking for training at its Ikeja Centre.

The General Manager of the Institute, Mrs. Afusat Tiamiyu disclosed that the increase possibly resulted from the recent enforcement exercise embarked upon by the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) in line with its statutory duty of facilitating compliance with the Road Traffic Laws, through periodic checks for valid vehicle documents.

According to her, some of the vehicle documents being checked by VIS include Roadworthiness, Vehicle Licence, Drivers Licence, lnsurance Certificate, Hackney Permit and Lagos State Drivers’ Institute card.

Tiamiyu advised the drivers to visit any of the Agency’s Centres closest to them in order to reduce the congestion at its Ikeja Centre, reiterating that the Institute operates through four other centres spread across the State namely Ikorodu Centre, Lagos State Transportation (VIS) Yard, Odogunyan, Ikorodu; Badagry Centre, Oko Afo, after Agbara Industrial Estate, Badagry; Lagos Island Centre, Oja Oba Market by Adeniji-Adele Lagos Island and Epe Centre, Lagos State Ministry of Transportation Yard, Epe- Ikorodu Road, Epe.

The General Manager, therefore, called on all professional drivers, especially commercial vehicle operators to avail themselves of the opportunities provided by the government to ensure sanity and compliance with the Lagos Road Traffic Laws.
