“In fact, some trailer driver miss where they are going to and enter the company, before realising that they are at the wrong place, and turning back is usually difficult for them.” Nigeria Gridlock
In spite of the gradual ease of the lockdown as announced by the state government, which mandated markets to alternate days of the opening between food marts and non-food marts, it has been a daily story of pain and agony along the route on weekdays, whose only assessable path is the service lane, as the main carriageway is undergoing rehabilitation.
The bad situation is further worsened by OK Foods, a subsidiary of Olams Food International, whose factory is beside the market at the Toyota bus stop, as the articulated vehicles going in and coming out of the company compound the gridlock along the route. The security supervisor on duty apologized and left his seat to control the trucks, but before nightfall, there were other trucks parked on the road. When The Guardian visited the office again at the weekend, it was another security supervisor that was on duty. This time, the man claimed the trucks on the road were waiting for clearance and they can only allow them in when they get cleared.
