Presidential Order: Taskforce Starts Towing Of Trucks And Trailers Seen On The Road – Photos

In our early report, we wrote that the trucks have started leaving the road as being mandated by the presidency but however, there are still some stubborn that despite the directive refused to leave and still stay on the road.

Sequel to the 2 weeks ultimatum given to Trucks and Trailers to leave Lagos roads and bridges by the Federal government, the task force charged with the responsibility at the expiration of its 72 hours ultimatum, has began towing trucks and trailers not on queues to move into the ports on the Apapa Oshodi expressway as revealed by the attached images obtained yesterday 27th May, 2019.

All trucks and trailers have been notified that they must be on queue to move into the ports as it has been discovered that some trucks have converted public roads and bridges to trailers and trucks park, hence, any truck or trailer not on queue for the onward movement into the parks are being towed away by the committee towing vehicles.

The committee is working assiduously round the clock 24/7 to achieve Mr. President 2 weeks ultimatum of the evacuation of trucks and trailers off Lagos roads and bridges and free access to the ports by vehicles for business.

The taskforce which comprises of police, FRSC, LASTMA, Navy and other agencies are going out to see that Lagos road is free of any illegal trucks. It should be noted that truck that is tolled will require a presidential approval before it can be released to the owner.

AutoReportNG, however, noted that Ijora 7up is still filled with these trucks as they are yet to evacuate the road, same applies to those in Apapa, Mile 2, Cele and some other parts.

Here are some of the images from the site.
