banks should hold emergency meetings and consider relocating mainland residents to their mainland branches and rely on IT communication more
The water transport option is a GOOD solution but as LSG said they need some time to get that ready. I believe FG should give them at least 2 weeks or lagos fit shut down o!
its just a pity they havent opened cinema hall on the mainland
Sooooooooooooooooooooo glad i live and work in IB

I think its good and nigeria is working. After all we are seeing the after effect of OBJ Baba's work. Remember the campaign about a fourth mainland bridge during 1999, 2003 and 2007 elections. We are still waiting.

Stakeholders held a meeting on Wednesday on the proposed closure of the Third Mainland Bridge for repair works schedued to begin on Thursday(today).
It was learnt that the Lagos State Government objected to the closure of the bridge during the meeting to map out ways to ease the traffic chaos that might arise thereafter.
Our correspondents gathered that state government officials told representatives of the Federal Government that the state lacked the resources and infrastructure to deal with the likely traffic crisis that might arise as a result of the planned closure of the bridge.
The Commissioner for Transport, Lagos State, Prof. Bamidele Badejo, confirmed this during a telephone interview with THE PUNCH on Wednesday night.
Badejo said, “There is a committee working with the Federal Ministry of Transportation.
“As at today(Wednesday), we’ve not resolved certain issues and as a result, there is no way the rehabilitation work can commence.
“However, there will be another meeting tomorrow (Thursday). But I can say categorically that the rehabilitation work cannot go on as planned because there are many areas that are still not clear and which must be cleared before work can commence.
an extract from todays punch. if Lagos government is objecting to it so what is going to happen then?

people more than just talking, this is a clear case of being caught between the devil and the deep red sea  last time we were close to something like this was two months ago, when a tanker blew up atthe oworonshoki axis of the bridge, trust lagosians and panic, text messages flew out like snowflakes warning friends and foes alike, STAY AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE. men, the traffic thta night is better imagined, talking of alternative routes. But then the bridge MUST be repaired. and now  |

On the affordability of the fares, he said the company presently charges N27,000 for adults, N18, 200 for children, and N2,000 for infants for two-way flights between the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja and Victoria IslandSo cheap So why complain about trafic chaos when you can fly down in 7 minutes with this amount daily?

, good business for hotels on the island , as most workers there would rather prefer to lodge in a hotel around rather than face thehorrific situation |

LASTMA is once again put to test.
The best option is to direct all vehicles coming from the island from 5 AM to use other bridges like carter & eko. And direct also all vehicles going to the island from 3PM to use those other bridges. I think this would work if LASTMA works in full swing.

I guess they are trying. 3rd Mainland could do with the repairs. But why rainy season? Its the worst period of the year traffic-wise and don't think its the best time for repair work either. |

I know why lagos state are objecting to the long closure of the bridge, the commisioners will be the ones facing the go slow, I don't think commioners use siren, its only Governors, so the commisioners, i will assume most probabaly live on the island and they will have to go to work at Alausa everyday. That journey will be nightmare for them, I guess it is Nija, lagos state govt will approve the helicopter to ferry her comminsioners over to ikeja, if they can spend millions of naira bringing Les Ferdinand to nigeria how much more ferrying her commisioners to work.[b][/b]

fashola needs to be at Marina.
But why is LASG just coming out with this opposition days to the commencement?
Or didn't the Minister discuss with LASG?
@knowall
fashola doesn't use the siren He doesn't boast about it as much as the FCT minister who thinks that is a 'hallmark' of his administration
