In order to avert congestion caused by articulated trucks, the Lagos State Government has approved the deployment of an e-call-up system for the Lekki-Epe Free Trade Zone corridor.

The e-call-up system will help synchronise the movement of trucks assessing the Lekki Deep Seaport and other industries within the corridor, starting from Eleko Junction to Lekki Free Trade Zone.


This was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, at a stakeholders’ meeting held recently.

According to a statement issued by the state government, the meeting was attended by government officials from the Ministry of Transportation, and representatives of Lekki Worldwide Investment Limited, Lagos Free Zone, Lekki Deep Sea Port and Messrs.

The statement read in part, “The transport commissioner also shared the state and Federal Government plans on road network expansion and inter-modal transport systems at an initial meeting held with the five chairmen of local government areas and local council development areas in Epe division; representatives of Lekki Worldwide Investment Limited, Dangote Industries Limited, Nigeria Union Of Petroleum And Natural Gas Workers, Federal Road Safety Corps, and the Nigeria Police Force.

“He further mentioned that an interim arrangement is also being put in place to decongest the roads through the evacuation of all illegal tankers from the red zone by a joint task force of the state, LGAs/LACDAs, security agencies and stakeholders.”

Better
I think creating alternative route would be better

FG should make other Port in the country fuctional

How can lagocians be suffering in traffic; it's terrible.

This same thing that caused Massive hold up in Apapa and now you still still want to deploy on the already dastard Lekki Epe road ? African's are not normal

Hope this is not another Apapa in making while not build the regional road to VI from eleko.

treesun:
Like Apapa! Imagine only that road, that as at now is blocked from Abraham Adesanya to Law school. Government need to think mass transit like rail and water. One day I went to see someone at Awoyaya, my eyes saw red before I got to Mainland, Since then!

Awoyaya is no longer crazy. A portion of the road has been fixed. Ogidan is also another crazy spot when it rains. But yesterday the government filled the ditches and expanded the road by breaking a portion of median.

treesun:


You said it all. Lagos is too concentrated. Otedola bridge is no go area now, gridlocks everywhere!

it's really tiring... You spend a huge 4hrs in traffic

Naija always choosing easy route..
expand that expressway with more interchanges and flyovers.. or build overhead lanes with no exits.. but toll toll

If you are conversant with happening in your own country, you will know that Port Harcourt Seaport is functional and it's been used

shut up your mouth; the only federal government functional International seaport is in Lagos..

Lekki deep Seaport will commence operation too... In the same Lagos.
Keep deceiving yourself

Now I agree you are not only daft but also a slowpoke who is too incorrigible to learn. Continue to wallow in self indue ignorance.

Before the Lekki to Epe axis became what it is today, Lagos state governments of about 15 to 20 years ago had the opportunity to properly plan that area, but they didn't.

Now the opportunity to create new arterial roads that those areas desperately need has slipped from the government's hands.

The few options left for the development of major new roads are going to be staggeringly expensive to execute, the government has no genuine answers to the traffic problem.

I know people who would not go beyond Lekki phase way for anything due to traffic.

What we need for individuals who ply that route steady and lagosians in general is find lasting alternative route . It will go a long way

The challenge is alternative routes are few and they are often clogged too.

They should be fast with the coastal road, and connect adjoining roads, this will really help.
