Minister of Power Works and
Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has lamented the gridlock caused by tanker and
truck along Apapa wharf road.
The development has continued to
cause pain and discomfort to Lagosians, especially residents of the affected
area.
Fashola said that as the
Christmas period approaches, the situation of things in the area keeps giving
him a ‘sleepless night.’
He urged the stakeholders
involved to contribute their own part in ensuring that residence of the state
did not go through unnecessary stress in the cause of making use of the road
said that importer and exporter can make use of alternative port.
“Exporter and importer needs to
think about pain and discomfort they are causing people of Lagos while road
repair is going on and they need to think of what to do to ease the pain.
“There are other Port in Warri,
Calabar among others. Although it may not be convenient but at least it will
reduce pain.
“We also know that the government
agricultural policies are working, so there are more agriculture export than
what it used to be in about four years ago.
The minister further enjoined the
organization and companies that carries out business in the area to come up
with suggestions that will help in addressing the situation while the road
construction lasted.
