The House of Representatives has expressed worry over the perennial traffic gridlock in Apapa despite efforts by government to find a permanent solution to it.
The green chamber noted that in the first two weeks of September alone, over 2,000 trailers, trucks and oil tankers massively flooded Ikorodu Road all through to Apapa in a bid to gain access into the Port and tank farms to covey commodities to their various destinations.
It cautions that if something urgent is not done, port activities will be in jeopardy and revenue to the nation’s coffers will dwindle astronomically.
The Lower House urges the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, saying the Nigerian Ports Authority must put pressure on the contractor handling construction of the truck park at Tin Can Island, to ensure its quick completion.
But minister of power and housing he is not doing anything at all why is it only Lagos what about Port-Harcourt?
