Lagos State, since its creation on 27 May 1967, has experienced gradual surge of humans and vehicles. The making of the state as the capital of Nigeria increased the surge of people into Lagos many of who have found it difficult to relocate from the state even as the capital moved to Abuja. Even with the movement of capital, till date, Lagos still remains its economic relevance. This has kept the surge.
The surge has created attendant effect of infrastructures especially the road. Congestion and heavy traffic has become a regular feature on Lagos roads. The heavy traffic and congestion brought negative effects to the people and the economy. The associated stress is enormous; the loss of man-hour leading to reduction in productivity is related to the economy.
Birth of Lagos Traffic Radio
The State Government realized these challenges and came to the conclusion that congestion and heavy traffics on our roads should be eliminated. HIS EXCELLENCY, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) thus approved that a dedicated traffic radio be established to monitor traffic and safety matters in Lagos state. This is what led to the birth of Lagos Traffic Radio 96.1FM. The Station was commissioned on the 29th of May, 2012 by HIS EXCELLENCY, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN).
