The Lagos State Government has started returning impounded vehicles to their owners without a fee.

This was announced on Tuesday in Lagos by the state commissioner for transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde.

The State Government Took The Decision As A Move To Ease The Cash Crunch On Its Citizens As A Result Of The Central Bank of Nigeria’s Naira Redesign Policy, He Added, Noting That The Exercise Commenced Last Saturday And Is Currently Continuing.

The commissioner stated that fines would be dropped and vehicles seized for minor traffic infractions would be released to their owners.

He said, “There are some people that committed offenses during that period and we understand the fact that money wasn’t easy to come by.

“Looking at the governor’s magnanimity, the governor has deemed it fit to ensure that people who committed crimes within that period and wanted to pay or couldn’t pay as a result of the shortage of cash, should come and pick up their cars and he has waved the fines.

“Mind you, that does not include major crimes committed. These are just minor traffic offenses that have been committed in Lagos and this is showing empathy and trying to understand that look, we understand how difficult it has been and it is not a reason for us to stop you from making ends meet and so hence the governor’s magnanimity.

All those who have committed a crime within that period should come and pick up their cars, that doesn’t mean people should continue to offend and so right now, what we are doing is to caution them not to commit the offense again.”

Recall that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had introduced palliative measures to cushion the effect of the naira redesign policy on residents in the state by slashing the BRT fares by 50 percent.

The commissioner further stated, “When you look at what the governor proposed, especially during the cash crunch period, we have reduced public transport fares by 50 percent. So when you go on our BRTs and all the Lagos state-funded public transport, including Lag Ride, we have reduced the fare by 50 percent just to alleviate the suffering of our people.

“Apart from that, moving away from transport, we have opened up food banks in certain areas. So we’re beginning to give out palliative just to ensure that people get through this cash crunch period.

“We’re happy that APC has won at the national level and we are beginning to see some of these policies being reversed.

“So we’re hoping that in a short time, life would return to normal.”
