A member of the House of Representatives for Apapa Federal Constituency, Hon. Mufutau Egberongbe, has commended the task force for the cleaning of Apapa area of Lagos.
Egberongbe commended the task force in a statement he released on Friday in Lagos, saying more needed to be done to sanitise the area. According to him, “the port was originally designed to do 33 million metric tonnes but it currently does 80 million showing that the infrastructure is now over-stretched resulting in the terrible traffic congestion experienced on roads around the area daily.”
“The railway had been a medium of carrying large amount of goods from Apapa to other areas of the state and the country before the facility became moribund. The rail lines are still there; they should be revamped,” he said.Apart from these, the lawmaker said it was important for the authorities to consider cargo tracking at the port as one of the means of reducing gridlock in the area.
