Implemented
The directive
Established a dedicated state agency to manage and enforce traffic order on Lagos roads.
Real-world effect
LASTMA became a permanent fixture of Lagos road management and was retained and expanded by every succeeding administration, though its enforcement methods have been a recurring source of public complaint.
Reversed
The directive
Subdivided Lagos's 20 statutory local governments into 57 units by creating 37 additional Local Council Development Areas.
Real-world effect
The federal government withheld Lagos's local-government allocations in response. The Supreme Court ruled the withholding unconstitutional in 2004, but the funds were withheld for a further period and the LCDAs were never recognised as full constitutional local governments; they continue to operate as administrative units under state law.
