The Lagos State Government has announced that its Intelligent Transport System (ITS) has identified more than 737,000 traffic infractions since implementation. This initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance road safety, streamline traffic flow, and advance digital governance across Nigeria’s commercial capital.
Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology, Mr. Olatunbosun Alake, revealed the figures during the 2026 Ministerial Press Briefing held at Alausa on Wednesday. The event marked the seventh anniversary of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.
Alake emphasized the government’s dedication to leveraging innovation, science, and technology to fortify governance, elevate public service delivery, and transform Lagos into Africa’s premier smart city.
He highlighted ongoing progress in digital governance, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, science education, enterprise architecture, and smart city projects. Under the Safe City initiative, Lagos has bolstered digital surveillance and traffic enforcement systems across key locations throughout the state.
The commissioner noted that these measures have led to improved traffic compliance, safer roads, and more effective security management. “The Intelligent Transport System has recorded over 737,000 traffic violations to date, contributing to safer roads and better traffic behaviour across Lagos,” Alake stated.
Additionally, the Ministry has made substantial strides in digitizing government operations through the Enterprise Architecture initiative. Out of 211 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), 192 have been evaluated, and 232 application workloads have been documented. This standardization aims to minimize IT project expenses and boost operational efficiency.
Alake also highlighted the growing adoption of digital government services via the Lagos State Digital Service Platform, which now attracts over 250,000 monthly visitors.
