Lagos State Government, in collaboration with the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, and the Nigeria Police, yesterday, impounded 18 trucks and removed abandoned and indiscriminately parked trucks on the Oshodi-Apapa expressway.
The enforcement came barely 48 hours after the Senate and the state government expressed the need for concerted efforts to end the perennial, interactable traffic gridlock in Apapa and environs.
Speaking during the enforcement exercise, the General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, Mr Bolaji Oreagba explained that the decision, which was taken after the expiration of a ‘Removal Order’ issued to truck drivers, would ensure the general safety of motorists and allow unimpeded free flow of traffic around the entire Apapa axis.
He said: “The Lagos State Government, being a responsible and responsive one, will ensure that motorists have a smooth ride from the Port Gate inwards Apapa-Oshodi Expressway and not only trailers carrying containers.
