The governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, has revealed the solution to the terrible Apapa traffic.

“The idea is that when we open up the Ikorodu area and construct the Ishawo-Oke-Oko Creek Road to connect the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway from there, we will finally put a stop to the activities of pipeline vandals so that we can begin to directly pump petroleum products from Atlas Cove in Apapa to Mosimi, and then the tankers will have no business coming to Lagos to lift products.”

Ambode also said his administration was working hard to stop reign of touts.

All of these were revealed during the 5th Lagos Corporate Assembly, a forum for public-private sector engagement, at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
