Lagos Rep objects to planed relocation of Appa trailers to Amuwo-Odofin


The Member representing Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency of Lagos State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Emmanuel Oghene Ego has condemned the attempt being made by the Lagos State Government to relocate petrol tankers from Apapa to International Trade Fair Complex in his  constituency. 

Egoh, is of the opinion that the trade fair and its environ was already over congested and that the vehicular traffic between Orile-Mile 2,Trade-Fair and Okokomaiko was so heavy that it would be a big mistake to compound the traffic problem by bringing tankers as well trailers to that location. 
He further expressed his displeasure over this development, noting that there had been an endless agony on Lagos-Badagry Expressway on daily basis as well as a lot of robbery activities and accident due to the gridlock in that area. 

Ego said: "The road is already congested by Lagos State University students, Iyanu-oba Market Traders, Vehicles and traffic on the international route that link Nigeria to other ECOWAS countries such as Republic of Benin, Togo, Ghana and Burkina Faso as well as other countries".

"This inconsiderate attempt to relocate trucks and trailers from Apapa to Lagos International Trade Fair Complex along Lagos-Badagry Express way will definitely cause further environmental degradation to the good people of Amuwo Oodofin and will also make the entire Trade Fair Complex less attractive to investors". 

He therefore reinstated his rejection of the idea which he said was capable of causing more loss of lives and property as he appealed to the state government not to support this inconsiderate move as it will compound the challenges they were facing.
