“The rail lines are still there; they should be revamped.” Nigeria
Egberongbe, who gave the advice in a statement on Friday in Lagos, said that more efforts were needed to sanitise the area of congestion, which he noted had paralysed economic activities in the area.
” This shows that the infrastructure is now over-stretched, resulting in the terrible traffic congestion experienced on roads around the area daily,” Egberongbe, a former Lagos Assembly lawmaker said. “In the long run, the railway and the water transportation facilities in the state should be rejuvenated.
The lawmaker said that it was important for the authorities to consider cargo tracking at the port as one of the means of reducing gridlock in the area.
