Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has appointed Bolaji Oreagba as the new General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
Oreagba would be taking over from the outgoing LASTMA GM, Olajide Oduyoye.
This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday by the Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola.
He noted that the appointment is geared towards the continued efficient and effective traffic management on Lagos roads and takes immediate effect.
The new LASTMA boss, who was until his appointment a Deputy Controller (Traffic), joined the State Public Service on December 8, 1993, and rose through the ranks to become LASTMA Director of Operations.
Oreaba holds a Master’s Degree in Transport Planning & Management and attended capacity-building programmes on inter-modal traffic management systems locally and internationally.
Muri-Okunola urged the newly appointed GM to justify the governor’s confidence in his appointment by rising up to the task, while bringing his wealth of experience to take the Agency to greater heights.
