The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has dismissed 12 officials for various acts of misconduct.
“From December 2023 to date, 12 officers have been summarily dismissed for breaches of professional ethics,” a statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Adebayo Taofiq, said on Thursday, adding that “19 others have been demoted for misconduct.”
According to Mr Taofiq, the dismissals followed investigations and recommendations from the Lagos State Civil Service Commission.
Mr Taofiq also said 17 others received “stern warnings”.
He added that an additional 12 officers “were compelled to tender their resignations following investigations into infractions deemed incompatible with the global standards to which LASTMA aspires.”
He added that a new Personnel Management Board session would be convened soon to consider the cases of more indicted officers.
