The continued siege by the drivers of articulated vehicles to one
of the most important road networks in the country’s economic nerve center-
Lagos State, is nothing short of dearth of ideas and tacit admittance by the
country’s leadership at all levels. I am talking about the Oshodi-Apapa
Expressway.
This road, not only serves as the country’s
gateway, but also the connecting corridor to Nigeria ’s
boundary with the popular Cotonou Town of Benin Republic and routes for
commercial vehicles heading to Togo ,
Ghana ,
among others. But more important is the fact that the road leads off to the homes of millions
of residents in nearby suburbs, who work in the Island
and other Mainland areas.
