The Lagos State Police Traffic Officer, Oriyomi Titilayo Oluwasanmi, has surprised two hard working traffic officers in Lagos State when she singled them out and rewarded their hard work with gifts.
The Chief Superintendent of Police surprised the traffic officers with the gifts at their duty posts on Wednesday.
The two lucky officers are: Inspector Adeniyi Opeoluwa of MOTOPOL Monitor 75D Ejigbo division, and an operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Adefolaolu Timothy.
Oluwasanmi said the gift items may not be much, but stand as a morale booster and encouragement to the receivers, while it will motivate others to do more.
She said: “It is regular practice for me to go round the city of Lagos and monitor those who are helping me to control traffic.
“I give gifts always to people who are exceptional in their duties.
“For instance, the LASTMA official is known by people who pass through Alausa.
“He is always stationed at Radio Junction.
“He is referred to as dancing LATSMA official.
“People are talking about him because you will always see him dancing and smiling while controlling traffic.
“He is not a policeman, but he is doing wonderfully well in his duty of traffic control.
“He is making my job easier.
“I still have some traffic officers that I will still reward for their hard work.
“It is a continuous exercise.
“I will not stop.
“I am proud of anyone who makes my work easier.
“I am happy that some of my best officers are being nominated for awards.
“On December 7, two of my officers will be receiving awards at a special event put together by the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria.
…
“I will also be rewarded.
“I am happy that people are noticing us.
“I am so happy that people are really recorgnising what we are doing.
“The award is a very big challenge.
“The award is encouraging us to do more for the society.
“I will continue to make traffic move.
“Lagos must move forward.”
