Lagos Govt Orders Immediate Evacuation of Tankers and Trucks from Roads

The tankers and trailers near the Cele Bus Stop inward Tincan Port axis have been ordered to cease their indiscriminate parking and to leave right away by the Lagos State Government.

In a statement on Wednesday, Sola Giwa, the governor’s special adviser on transportation, revealed this.

In light of the continuous congestion and the difficulties commuters along the axis experience, the statement claims that the order is a crucial step in the right direction.

The statement read, “The Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, said the directive underscores the commitment of the state government to ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and minimising disruptions caused by the persistent presence of these heavy-duty vehicles in the specified location, saying the order aims to enhance the overall mobility experience for residents and commuters in the affected area.

“Prioritising the safety and well-being of the public, the government emphasises the importance of a clear and unobstructed road network, urging tanker and trailer drivers to comply with this directive or be sanctioned in line with the State Transport Reform Law.”
