Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday said that the State Government would immediately take over the ABAT Truck Terminal Orile-Iganmu and commence immediate repairs on the terminal as part of efforts to permanently address the perennial traffic in Apapa axis majorly caused by breakdown of operations at the ports.

Governor Ambode, who disclosed this at the 2nd Quarter 2018 Town Hall Meeting, the 11th in the Series, held at the Apapa Amusement Park, said he was seriously concerned about the hardship residents in the axis were being subjected to as a result of the activities of containerized trucks and tankers moving in and out of the ports and tank farms, hence the decision to hold the meeting in the area to find lasting solutions.

“I cannot end this address without acknowledging that in Apapa, we have a major challenge; the menace of trucks on our roads and bridges causing endless traffic and loss of business time by Lagosians. This is why we have come here today. To see for ourselves and find a solution.

“Effective today, our government will take over the ABAT Truck Terminal Orile-Iganmu and commence immediate repairs to make the park ready for effective use. In the meantime, we will appeal to the Tanker Drivers Association to conduct themselves in an orderly manner and cooperate with our Task Force to ensure smooth flow of traffic and better access to the Ports.

“We thank the people of Apapa for enduring such harsh conditions but I assure you that this situation will be a thing of the past by the end of this year,” he said.

Governor Ambode said the ABAT Truck Terminal has a capacity to accommodate at least 3000 trucks, adding that the government was already working with security agencies to see how some of the trucks parked on the Western Avenue Bridge would be moved into the park.

“Already, we have cleared the shanties and the way we are trying to run it is such that we will be able to accommodate at least 3,000 trucks in the park. In addition to that, we will work with security agencies and see how we can move the trucks into the park because right now the park can accommodate about 300 trucks but the people are not using it.

“So, if I tell you that one of the areas that I always feel very bad about is this Apapa gridlock and that is the truth and that is why I have decided that lets bring all our resources together; let’s discuss with people; let’s also talk to the experts and see what is happening there,” he said.

with the way Lagos is growing.. i pity my state...

they urgently need to address their 'trucking issues'

I hate to dey drive go that apapa

Meanwhile, all banks in ilesha closed due to hoax for armed robbery attack

Thats good.

But sorry for those in Orile. Another demolision waitin to happen.

Wehdone from fry pan to fire.

Some people about to lose their home and shop

Way to go Gov Ambode... the outstanding governor in terms of enduring infrastructure development.

In the meantime, let the trucks be banned from using service lane from Ijesha to Mile 2. That will allow normal vehicles better free flow.

Also, let them keep to 2 lanes on the express from mile 2 to apapa to enable better traffic

Also the residential areas leading to the Apapa port are on lock down

Future impossible tense just like the light rail that has been postponed forever despite billions of dollars in loans?
Who is Ambode deceiving after almost 20 years of supposedly progressive administration
No more clapping for any future impossible reports.
Seeing is believing from now on.
We have been fooled for too long. We have been seating around for so long.

Really? ilesa fear Fear people.

that place don cast from apapa to olodi apapa to kirikiri town to mile2 to even oshodi

am making a YouTube video of it

Nigeria politics is hapless.

What if the container terminal just before Liverpool bridge in front of Tin Can 1st gate? Will it now be abandoned?

I thought they said it was PDP at the center holding APC in the state. Is it not APC at both levels now? Why can't Nigeria work for once? Now they will go and start demolishing some people's future.

Tufiakwa!

good one
