“I spent six hours in traffic between Oshodi and Okota earlier this month.' Nigeria LagosTraffic Traffic Lagos
But only little seems to have changed more than 100 days since the new administration began its tenure. Lagos residents across the five divisions of the state – Ikorodu, Badagary, Ikeja, Lagos Island and Epe – have continued to spend needless hours on the road due to traffic, contrary to Sanwo-Olu’s promise, even with the rollout of Executive Orders on traffic management.
Unfortunately, the expressway, presently undergoing some rehabilitation, is important to the nation’s economy as it connects to the country’s most viable ports. It is estimated that the gridlock in the area bleeds the economy to $10 billion annually. However, the governor categorically said he will “tackle” the Apapa gridlock within his first 100 days in office.
The Guardian checks on the route a few weeks after the federal government order showed that the tankers and trailers have returned to some sections of the road. Freight trucks and petrol tankers were still seen parked on the expressway on Wednesday morning, a queue that could be seen extending to Ijesha bus stop, about 10 kilometres from Apapa.
