"This was also the reason for the persistent gridlock experienced by motorists on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. This road is substandard compared to the pressure it is subjected to. The volume of vehicles plying the road daily is massive.”
Despite all of the above, some readers are blaming Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for the increase in traffic.
According to them, traffic has got worse after Governor Ambode became the governor of Lagos state.
