Mr Tayo Aboyeji, Chairman, NUPENG Lagos, made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Saturday.
Aboyeji said that the development of the Orile Park would bring permanent solution to all traffic problems being experienced in the Apapa Port area and decongest the Apapa Wharf area.
NAN reports that President Muhammadu Buhari had issued a 72-hour ultimatum to truck drivers, who park along Apapa, Lagos road to vacate.
“NUPENG is absolutely in support of the cleanup of Apapa gridlock. We equally support all the measures put in place by Presidential Taskforce to free Apapa gridlock.
“The park will contain about 6,000 trucks when completed in the ongoing rehabilitation by Lagos State Government.
“We (tanker drivers) have not been part of the problem but we shall cooperate with whatever measures are put in place by government,’’ Aboyeji said.
Aboyeji urged the Presidential Taskforce to disband all checking points initiated by security agents to allow free flow of traffic.
He said that NUPENG would not condone any act of extortion from all illegal checking points on Apapa routes.
NAN also reports that notice issued by the President reads, “A Presidential directive has been issued for the immediate clearing up of the Apapa gridlock and the restoration of law and order to Apapa and its environs within two weeks.
“The directive mandates the immediate removal of all trucks from the bridges and roads within Apapa and all adjoining streets leading into the Apapa axis.
“To facilitate this important assignment, operators of trucks and tankers have also been directed to vacate the port access roads within the next 72 hours.
“The meeting proffered lasting solutions to the gridlock around the Lagos Ports, as the traffic congestion has continued to restrict all operations and livelihood in the area.’’
A Presidential Taskforce, chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was established to ensure the restoration of law and order to the area within two weeks.
