Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), yesterday
inspected the traffic gridlock points at the Mile 2 under bridge of the Lagos –
Badagry Expressway undergoing expansion and Creek Road in Apapa, extracting a
commitment from fuel tanker operators to ease traffic on the roads leading to
Apapa within one week.
Residents of the two areas have in the last few weeks
complained to the government over the pains of traffic gridlock on the Mile 2
Road caused by a combination of continuous trading on the road and dumping of
refuse in the drainage; and the Creek Road and adjoining areas in Apapa rendered
impassible by fuel tankers seeking to load fuel from the tank farms in the
area.
Fielding questions from journalists after the inspection of
Creek Road which has been taken over by the fuel tankers, Fashola said
government was prepared to wait for a week as promised by the operators to
organise the parking of their tankers in a way that traffic could move on the
road, adding that if they complied voluntarily there would be no need for
enforcement.
