The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has approved with immediate effect the appointment of Mr. Bakare-Oki Olalekan as the Acting General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
A statement by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation, Mr Olawale Musa, noted that the appointment of Olalekan is for better performance, eradicating incidences of misdemeanours among staff and continued efficient traffic management on Lagos roads.
Olalekan joined the Lagos State Public Service on April 25, 2000, and rose to the position of Deputy Director of the Logistics and Engineering Department of LASTMA before his new appointment as General Manager.
He holds a Master’s in Transportation Planning and Management from the University of Lagos. He has attended several capacity-building programmes on inter-modal traffic management systems locally and internationally.
Congratulating the newly appointed General Manager, Musa urged him to justify Governor Sanwo-Olu’s confidence in his appointment by rising to the occasion while bringing his wealth of experience to take the Agency to greater heights.
