Naptu2 thanks so much for this very detailed and informative thread. As an indigene of that area, it's refreshing to witness this, I remembered some of my friends who tapped into this earlier when I told them. God bless you!

There is a troll that has just tried to provoke you. Please ignore him.

His response has nothing to do with my post and is solely designed to provoke me and it has failed.

What is the plan for Dangote Port?

1. Would it be handed over to Fg?
2. Closed down?
3. Operated by Dangote for the use of Dangote alone?
4. Operated by Dangote and open to all users?

Thank you.

As far as I know, it is only used by Dangote. I'm sure you've read stories about, "Dangote exports petrol to Singapore" or "Dangote exports petrol to Ghana" or "Dangote imports crude oil from the United States". All this traffic goes through the Dangote Port.

There are other measures, like the Lekki Regional Road in Eti-Osa, that will help prevent congestion in Ibeju Lekki and Eti-Osa. The Lekki Regional Road will connect motorists from Victoria Garden City (VGC) to Freedom Way in Lekki Phase 1 via a bridge over the lagoon.

And I remember that, when the Lekki Expressway (the portion in Eti-Osa) was being reconstructed between 2007 - 2011, Tarzan Ferries got a barge and used it to ferry vehicles from Lekki Phase 1 to Queen's Drive in Ikoyi.

I wanted to give a Nigerian example of a self propelled barge.


The Lekki Expressway was being reconstructed in the 2000s and this work led to enormous traffic jams. Tarzan developed a solution to the problem. It used a self propelled barge as a roll on-roll off car ferry.

From 2007 till 2011 when the reconstruction work was completed, people could have their vehicles ferried from Lekki Phase 1 or Sandfill to Queens Drive in Ikoyi.

Why are self propelled barges now significant? You'll soon find out.

11) Lagos - Epe Expressway:

The Lagos State Government is also reconstructing portions of the Lagos - Epe Expressway. The reconstructed road will have a dedicated truck lane (just line a BRT lane), space for a rail track (presumably the Green Line) and other facilities to prevent congestion. The portion of the road from Eleko Junction (which leads to the Lekki Free Zone) to Epe has been reconstructed and the section from Eleko to Abraham Adesanya is being reconstructed.
