Two days after Lagos State Government issued a statement, saying it has commenced process of clearing the Apapa-Mile 2 axis of illegal parking of tankers and articulated vehicles, a check by The Guardian has revealed that the harrowing experience road users face on the road has not abated.
Yesterday, the stretch of vehicles parked on the road, especially on the fast lane, flowed to Coker bus-stop with nobody checking or trying to stop activities of the drivers.
The state government, in a statement by the Public Affairs Officer of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on Wednesday, had said in its determination to ensure free flow of traffic and safety on the road, government has commenced the process of clearing Apapa-Mile 2 axis of illegal parking of tankers and articulated vehicles.
He added that the decision is aimed at freeing Apapa – Oshodi Expressway of avoidable traffic gridlocks, as well as making the axis accessible to other road users.
