Apapa Road Re-Construction: Trucks, Service Providers, others have 7days to Quit

The Federal Government has directed truck drivers blocking roads in Apapa to vacate within seven days to enable the reconstruction work on Wharf Road to start.

The government also ordered telecommunication service providers and other operators to relocate their service cables on the Right of Way (RoW) of the project for work to begin.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Godwin Eke, gave the directives during a meeting with stakeholders at the ministry’s office complex in Lagos.

Stakeholders present at the meeting included representatives of telecommunication service providers, Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), transport unions, port operators, shippers unions and AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd, the construction company handling the project.

Eke, after extensive deliberation with stakeholders, directed the tankers to immediately vacate the roads while service providers were to quickly relocate their cables from the RoW.

“We need to do something urgently to ensure smooth running of the project.

“When the project starts, we will not be able to wait for companies to relocate utility services; so I am appealing to all stakeholders to act fast in the interest of us all.

“Leave the roads so that this contractor, AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd, can begin excavation on site,’’ he said.

Eke also scheduled another meeting with the service providers and traffic management agencies for Wednesday to map out strategies for the urgent relocation of their services.

The stakeholders said some of the roads, which include Wharf Road and Creek Road, were already being handled by the ministry, adding that there must be cooperation for the project to be completed on time.

Some stakeholders accused service providers of frustrating previous projects in Lagos by ignoring calls for the relocation of services, thereby causing delays.

They, therefore, agreed that a timeline be set after which service providers who ignore the deadline would bear the consequences of their inaction.

The Managing Director of AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd, Mr Ashif Juma, said that strategies had been put in place to speed up construction work.

Juma explained that the drainage channels were going to be constructed with precast elements which were ready to be moved to site.

“We are ready to begin the drainage works by next week because we are using precast elements and they are ready.

“The road is two kilometres for each lane both inbound and outbound lane.

“We are to rehabilitate and reconstruct the road using concrete to construct rigid pavement that will last between 30 and 50 years.
