“There is a zero-tolerance for lawlessness. There is zero-tolerance for breach of our regulations and we are going to do more of this. We are going to take control of our traffic. We cannot build our way out of traffic congestion; our responsibility is to manage traffic and manage congestion.”

Just few days ago, Lagos State House of Assembly has passed a bill for a law "3-year jail term awaits one-way traffic offenders in Lagos"(READ IT) to repeal and re-enact the road traffic law and to make provisions for road traffic and vehicle inspection in Lagos into law for Governor Babatunde Fashola’s assent.

I believe the zero-tolerance for lawlessness should apply to this situation and the officer that breaks the law should face the consequences if Lagos state is up to defend democracy.
