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.
