Oshodi-Apapa Expressway: Chaos as policemen aid driving against traffic

AGAIN, movement into and out of Apapa through Oshodi-Apapa Expressway has become a nightmare for motorists and commuters, as trucks and tankers have taken over the entire stretch of the dual carriageway from Mile 2 to Tin Can Port.

Trucks and petroleum tankers are back on the dual carriage way, making vehicular movement on the ever busy expressway nightmarish. What makes the situation more pathetic is the ongoing reconstruction of Apapa Wharf Road which has diverted more trucks and tankers from Apapa Wharf Road to Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.

Tanker drivers, who spoke to Vanguard, alleged that some policemen deployed to the area to control traffic, have abandoned their duty.

Vanguard gathered that as soon as the tanker drivers’ part with the money, they are permitted by the policemen to head to the tank farms on Tin can Island and Kirikiri and end up parking indiscriminately on the highway.
