APAPA TRAFFIC: Tanker drivers call for patience - Vanguard News

LAGOS—Following

Tanker Drivers’ Union, PTD, has appealed to road users, especially
motorists and residents in and around Apapa and its environ , to bear
with them and exercise patience over the situation of the road.

The
increase in cargo through put occasioned by the yuletide season, has
consequently put more pressure on the Apapa-Oshodi express road as
members of the union blamed the traffic jam on the influx of petroleum
tankers from every part of the country into Lagos as a result of
scarcity of the petroleum products in many depots across the country.

The
National Public Relations Officer, PRO, of the PTD of the National
Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers Union, NUPENG, Comrade
Adebayo Atanda, said the situation resulting in the gridlock was being
worked on by the drivers’ union in conjunction with LASTMA officials and
other traffic agencies.

He said the tankers had resorted to
coming to Lagos to avoid the shortage of the product in other parts of
the country, adding that the scarcity of the products is further
compounded by the festive period.

Atanda said the PTD National
Chairman, Comrade Sulaimon Akanni Oladiti, has directed all the zonal
officers headed by Comrade Razaq Akanbi to be on ground to mitigate the
effect of the influx of the tankers on the roads.

He added that
the Akanbi-led task force was working round the clock and would be
collaborating with LASTMA to ease the traffic jam in the area as soon as
possible.

“We are therefore assuring all road users, motorists
and residents of the area that the situation would soon be brought under
control,” Atanda promised.
