On Tuesday, the #NigerianSenate urged the federal government to collaborate with the #LagosState Government to facilitate the relocation of oil tank farms from #Apapa in #Lagos to other areas.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion moved by Senator #OluremiTinubu and her two colleagues representing the state in the Senate, #SolomonAdeola and #AdetokunboAbiru.

The objective of the motion was to end the intractable gridlock in Apapa and embrace the electronic call-up system for admitting trucks into the seaports and other terminals in the neighbourhood.

The lawmakers commended the federal government for the reconstruction of Oshodi-Apapa expressway, and the completion of the #Apapaports spur line of the Lagos-Ibadan rail project.

However, they directed the #SenateCommitteeonMarineTransport to investigate the implementation of the electronic call-up system and allegations of extortion by port officials and report back to the Senate on the way forward.

#SolaGiwa, Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on the Central Business District, and #HassanAdekoya, Taskforce Chairman of the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners, tell ARISE News why the gridlock in Apapa has defied all solutions.
