Fear, anxiety as Lagos seeks control over Apapa gridlock

Punch Newspapers Sections Joseph Olaoluwa Freight forwarders are not convinced that the perennial gridlock issues faced at the Lagos port will subside. This is following the decision of the Lagos State Government to take over the control of Apapa gridlock from the Federal Task Force. In a series of interviews, some of the freight forwarders who spoke to our correspondent were unsure anything good would come out from the intervention. A freight forwarder, Gbemi Ola, said, “The rot is deeper than this ill-advised frenzy. I don’t think anything will change.” He noted that he was presented with the opportunity of participating in a questionnaire or survey but was not keen on participating because he was not sure any of his contributions in abating the traffic would be entertained.
