FG, Lagos State Government Team Up To Build Truck Park For Tanker & Trailer Drivers In Apapa

The Federal Government in collaboration with the Lagos State and a private firm named, MOB have teamed up to set up a modern and standard park for the tankers and trailers drivers within the Apapa metropolis. The drivers have become a pain for all road users within this axis due to their reckless parking and how they park on the bridge and anywhere they felt is good for them. A close check revealed that the park will take at least 200 trailers and 250 maximum at full stretch.

AutoReportNG toured the facility as the place is still under construction, the park is sited under the bridge of Marine Beach close to the Naval base. We went to the park and we saw that the park has CCTV, restrooms and it has also being lit up, one of the drivers told us there are plans to have food vendors and a mini-kiosk around too.

The question on our lips is if these tank drivers will make use of this facility. Remember there was a time the Lagos State Government built an ultra model park for them at Orile some years back, they refused to use citing the parking cost was much, we hope they will be law-abiding and make use of this one at least to make the roads free of accidents.

These are some of the pictures from the park.
