The Lagos State Government has disbursed a total of ₦40 million as consolatory support to LASTMA officers
The Lagos State Government has disbursed a total of ₦40 million as consolatory support to the families and dependants of deceased officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The presentation, coordinated by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, took place yesterday at the LASTMA headquarters in Oshodi. Twenty beneficiary families received ₦2 million each.
Speaking at the event, Giwa stressed that the financial support should not be seen as compensation for the loss, noting that no amount of money can equate to the value of human life. He said the gesture was meant to acknowledge the courage, dedication and ultimate sacrifice of the fallen officers.
According to him, the initiative reflects the Sanwo-Olu administration’s commitment to humane governance and the welfare of public servants and their families.
“Their sacrifices will never be forgotten, and their families will not be abandoned,” Giwa assured.

This 2 Million is PATHETICALLY TOO LOW for a family. Lagos can and should do better. Nigerians deserve better. What can a family losing their bread winner achieve with 2 million Naira in the current economy.
In fact 40 Million is not too much per family. That generates more passion in those officials left behind that the government cares for them and their family in any eventuality!
Let’s do more for the people – a happy workforce is the bedrock of functioning institutions and societies. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu please do more for your people!
#2M each? it’s well
Another way to ghost lagosians. Give us the figures and the amount paid to each person’s and also picture evidence too
When they want to give to the poor, they give peanuts, but politicians can steal trillions without them blinking they eyes twice!
2 million for a family? In this Tinubu Government

40m good for one pesin ooo
Before it gets there, it ll be #500,000
