In a bid to consolidate the gains of improved traffic flow being witnessed in the Apapa axis, the Lagos State Government has re-constituted and inaugurated Apapa Special Traffic Management Team. The team is to effectively tackle gridlock in the Mile 2/Tincan axis.
Addressing the newly inaugurated Committee Members at the Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja on Friday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Sola Giwa explained that the focus of the committee is to eliminate gridlock on the Mile 2/Tincan axis and to sustain the 80 percent success recorded on Apapa traffic reduction in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s promise to resolve traffic challenges in Apapa and its environs.
Giwa, who is also the Chairman of the Team, said that the task assigned must be carried out with utmost integrity as the Governor aims to replicate the success recorded at the Apapa axis by focusing more on the Mile 2/Tincan corridor to ensure improved traffic flow in the affected areas.
He assured that the team is poised to deliver on the task assigned to them with the full cooperation of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
