Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged intending pilgrims from Lagos State to prioritize their health before embarking on the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage.

Speaking at the Eid-el-Fitr celebration hosted by the First Family of Lagos State and the Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday at the Lagos House, Marina, the governor emphasized the importance of physical well-being for those making the sacred journey.

“By May, the pilgrimage to Mecca will commence soon. I urge everyone traveling to ensure they are in good health. If you are unwell, please refrain from traveling and instead offer prayers here in Nigeria,” Sanwo-Olu advised.

The governor also congratulated Muslims on the successful completion of Ramadan, expressing gratitude for the spiritual renewal, growth, and collective development it has fostered. He encouraged residents to embrace the spirit of giving and support the less privileged during the festivities.

“As we celebrate, let us reflect on the essence of true worship, which goes beyond rituals. It is about how we treat one another and contribute to the progress of our state and nation. Let us renew our faith in Nigeria and remain steadfast in our prayers,” he added.

The event’s guest speaker, Dr Munirudeen Ar-Riyardy of Lagos State University of Education, emphasized the importance of faith during life’s trials and cautioned against sin, urging Nigerians to refrain from cursing their leaders.

Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, also called on residents to embody compassion and empathy. “Be kind to your neighbours, show understanding, and continue to have faith in the Almighty’s grace,” he said.

Commissioner for Home Affairs, Mr Ibrahim Layode, further encouraged Muslims to uphold the tenets of Islam in their daily lives, promoting peace, unity, and goodwill within the community.

LASTMA issues stern warning to mini-bus drivers over traffic violations

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, has issued a firm directive to commercial bus operators, particularly drivers of mini-buses, commonly known as Korope, warning them against unauthorized route violations or risk facing strict legal actions.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, reiterated the state government’s dedication to maintaining order on Lagos roads and ensuring the free flow of traffic.

He disclosed that LASTMA operatives have been mandated to intensify enforcement against reckless driving and illegal practices that disrupt the city’s transportation system.

Giwa strongly condemned the indiscriminate use of public roads for unauthorized parking and loading, emphasizing that such activities contribute significantly to traffic congestion and pose serious risks to other road users.

He stressed that commercial transport operators must adhere strictly to designated bus stops and terminals, warning that habitual violations will no longer be tolerated.

“Illegal parking and flagrant route violations have become a major challenge in Lagos, particularly due to the erratic conduct of mini-bus operators. These infractions not only obstruct smooth traffic flow but also compromise public safety. LASTMA has been instructed to enforce full compliance with existing traffic laws and to apprehend offenders accordingly,” Giwa stated.

He further emphasized that adherence to designated routes is essential for security purposes, as unauthorized detours by commercial buses could create loopholes for criminal activities.

LASTMA urged all road users, especially commercial drivers, to cooperate with traffic enforcement authorities by adhering to regulations and cultivating responsible driving habits.

The agency reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing road safety and ensuring a more efficient transportation system for all Lagos residents.
