To some drivers it is just like a dream, so Lagos roads can be this free? Miracles do happen! Imagine driving from Surulere to Lagos Island in 17mins. Lagos has been groaning in pains for close to 5years all thanks to the tankers who have refused to vacate these roads. From Eko bridge to Ijora to Apapa to Mile 2 to Funsho Williams Ave, Lagosians are caged on these roads, all thanks to these drivers who have made life more difficult for road users.

Last year a presidential directive was issued that they should vacate these axes but little was done, even the Lagos State Government in its part engaged the stakeholders and issue ultimatum but nothing was forthcoming. It got so bad that the Vice-President, Prof Yemi Osibanjo along with the Lagos State Gov, the minister of works and housing and minister of transportation all went towards these areas to see things for themselves but they all compiled for a week and after that, they are back again.

Lagosians were surprised yesterday when suddenly all the tankers and trailers that are occupying Eko Bridge, Funsho Williams Ave, CMS among others suddenly give way. According to reports, for almost 4 years thousands of tankers and trailers parked on Eko Bridge, Apapa- Oshodi Expressway, Ikorodu Road and western avenue. and barely 48 hrs to President Buhari's visit, they've been removed.

So we are AutoReportNG decided to ask these salient questions so that we can use this to learn as this is just a mystery if this feat can be achieved in such an excellent way that no grudges, no strike, no police or task force were involved, so we are asking...

- Within 48hrs, what has changed?
- What strategy(ies) was used to achieve this or is it just games as usual?
- Is the president aware of these tankers that have made the bridges their parking lot?
- After the president's visit to Lagos, are they still coming back?
- Who are those that pull these stunts together?
- Is this the end of tankers and trailers on Lagos roads?

While we watch closely, let's bask in this euphoria the moment brings. These are some few videos we are able to see.

Lagos for show...

Are you mad? You said they disappear yet you showed us pictures of a congested bridge with trailers

Despite the huge revenue earned from oil resources, the previous govt paid lip service to a critical sector like the roads. With less earnings, the Buhari govt has done and is doing more roads acrossthe country. Vote Buhari. Vote for the #NextLevel

Ha! Eye service on display! I hope they are able to keep the trucks off even after elections o! Let it not be because Bubu is going to Lagos and for election/political points...

Sad so sad

You can at least use some little sense and ask maturely... Thats a file picture. Learn to act with someone with wisdom, don't use emotions to type, before you type, check and ask, if I am the one in the picture, how will I feel?

I think it has to do with the President's visit to Lagos on Saturday. He'll be using Western avenue to Teslim Balogun stadium and connecting bridges to Lagos Island.
What a shame of a nation though!
This tanker menace on Lagos roads is what the Lagos-Ibadan rail will take care of eventually. Goods move by railway globally except in corruption-ridden countries like Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Nigerians need to learn that proceeds of corruption causing money to circulate and trickle down to the masses doesn't mean the economy is flourishing.
It simply means that we've eaten our future now.

This is what the PDP stands for and their 16yrs of sharing the national cake has really messed up the psychology of Nigerians as to how an economy actually functions.

Your future relies on a diversified economy outside oil, built on critical national infrastructure.

Be wise and vote wisely.

Wake up joor! Which previous government are u referring to? Ambode's or Fashola's? Are they not all in APC? Is the sudden disappearance of these trucks a result of some new road constructed between yesterday and today? This is clear evidence of sustained wickedness by Lagos governors who simply refused to apply any level of ingeniousness towards clearing these trucks and easing interminable traffic conditions for Lagosians and u you are blaring your normal sycophant tunes like one confused!

You shouldn't have replied.
Lagos is free, go out and see for yourself!

I guess it was because of the presidential campaign.... So many times the government knows exactly what to do, but always adamant Hope the trucks won't reappear after the campaign!!
