LAGOS GRIDLOCK: No Solution Yet- Kodoro


It seems like the extremely out-setting experience of Lagos motorists and commuters due to the fuel scarcity and gridlock on roads may not end anytime soon.

The South-West Chairman of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Mr Tokunbo Korodo, explained that trucks causing the gridlock may not leave the roads soon as directed by the Lagos State Government.

Korodo made this known when addressing journalists that only three depots out of over 50 in Lagos had petroleum products to dispense.

The development had compelled hundreds of trucks to head for the three depots to lift oil. He said that the development was the key reason for the unprecedented traffic jam that had locked down Lagos in recent days.

Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, had on Wednesday chaired a meeting with the stakeholders in the oil industry where the government directed the tankers and trucks to vacate the bridges and roads.

I was not surprised when he said he prefer a military government that abhor indiscipline and can bypass the law of the land to nail corrupt individuals that have formed a parallel government (cabals) and hold the country as ra nsom for their own selfish political and economic aggrandizement to the modern slavery being parkaged as democracy. ✍ �I partially concurred with him because the constitution and rule of law that this corrupt individuals always use as a shield to perpetrate their sinister activities has been turned to a cobweb that can only hold light objects (commonmen) while it breaks the moment it sight heavy objects (cabals). ✍ �Yes! I have written series of articles to criticise Buhari failing administration but have never for once chastise him for undermining the rule of law (even though he has disobe...
