Stakeholders in the maritime industry have said that planned
reconstruction of the failed roads in the port vicinities of Apapa and
its environ is not the solution to the chaotic traffic situation in the
area.
Ongoing palliative repairs at a section of the road
Reacting to the recent information from the Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo, that the process of reconstruction of the roads would commence
in two weeks, stakeholders warned that until government works at
achieving an inter-modal transportation system in the port areas, the
traffic situation would persist.
Speaking with Vanguard Maritime Report on the issue, National
President of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents, ANLCA,
Tony Iju Nwabunike, stated: “Look at Apapa Technically, there is not
much room for improvement, the roads are bad, the bridges are tiny, they
are having two -way-in, two-way-out.
“So, going out from Apapa is the same thing, coming in from Tin-Can is
the same thing, having two ways all over the place and they didn’t plan
it properly. So the train station needs to work, they need to begin to
think about a third bridge to enter Apapa.
“The permanent measure is that there must be another system; there must
be a serious networking of roads for people getting in and out of Apapa,
then the third one is to decentralize the Lagos port.”
Similarly, Managing Director of Talod Oceanair Freight Limited, Alhaji
Hakeem Olanrewaju, told Vanguard Maritime Report that the
reconstruction would not ease the congestion but only reduce it.
Olanrewaju explained that the way the ports are designed, the roads
leading to and from the ports are not meant for fuel tankers.
