k, which lasted till Wednesday afternoon.had reported that the tanker was hit by a speeding truck, which made it to spill its content.
A pharmacist, Abiodun Otubanjo, said, “I left Lagos Island around 4.30pm on Tuesday for Sagamu in Ogun State. Before I left, I checked the traffic situation online and it showed that the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was densely congested. Unfortunately, when I got to the ‘Long Bridge’, I got stuck and it was a very traumatic experience, not just for me, but for most commuters on the road, because the bridge is renowned as a den of robbers.
Otubanjo urged the contractor handling the reconstruction of the road to fast-track its work, adding that the Federal Government should make commuting on the road easy for the citizens. “The driver drove away without waiting. It was when he got to Berger that the bus suffered from overheating and I was able to catch up with him. I had to inform him about what happened.”A commuter, identified simply as Ireti, said she reported late for work on Wednesday morning because the gridlock prevented her from getting home early the previous night.
Kuti said, “The government is trying to make commuting on the road a pleasurable experience by expanding the road, which is the busiest in Nigeria and perhaps Africa, especially the Lagos to the Sagamu interchange section.
