The gridlock in Apapa has taken a negative toll on the lives of people in that axis and one had thought it would subside as the government would intervene – But what do we see?
The ‘stand-still’ traffic has spilled over to Ojuelegba and now people living on Ikorodu road are witnessing hard times going about their businesses with commercial vehicles, privates cars, even the BRT buses; as not all areas have the lanes. Besides, how many Lagosians can the buses take?
The traffic situation had been like this for a while and the government had instead turned a blind eye to the complaints from residents that ply the road.
We should also take note of the fact that the traffic has given ‘danfo’ buses the opportunity to escalate the fares, which increases the said hardship on the people that use that road.
When will the government take up its responsibility and solve the problem before it becomes too much to handle?
The only way forward is to break the political yoke and set Portharcourt, Calabar and Warri ports working… This will remove about 55% vessels from Lagos port that will equally reduce the numbers of hauling vehicles (trailers) on the road that bring about traffic gridlock and waste of manhours that cannot be quantify….. I witness the grid lock on Saturday 16/09/2017 while in Lagos… The grid lock spanned from Ojuelgba to Apapa with trailers blocking all the route going to apapa…!!!!? Hmmmmm what a country…. Let Portharcourt, Calabar and Warri Port function…. Set the ports Free…..
traffic ?was so terrible people in apapa can’t talk anymore they now walk down to their various office this days….
