"Along these lines, for us to have the capacity to oblige you, you must go to the center of the table. You can't overlap your arms and say that it doesn't concern you. I am surrendering the security and wellbeing of Lagosians by pleasing 57 tank homesteads and surrendering the wellbeing and peace of Lagosians by permitting more than 1,000 trucks to enter Lagos consistently.

"It is clear that tank ranch proprietors would prefer not to assume liability for what is going on in the Apapa gridlock. It is clear likewise that in the event that we are to begin to think in the way in which these presentations have been made, we would say 'to get everyone off the extension, there ought to be no tanker driver that ought to enter Lagos with the exception of he is cleared by the tank ranch proprietors or perhaps, we locate a ticketing framework to control them."

"We need to remove the gridlock in Apapa; that is the thing that I need to listen. How would we isn't that right? We can choose that no truck enter Lagos. We will do team for 24 hours. No truck comes into your terminals, yet we would not move the lockjam to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in light of the fact that the point here is that some of them don't even have any motivation to be here. Yet, they used to be on that pivot."
