Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources Downstream, Hon Joseph Iranola Akinlaja has admonished government at all levels as well as stakeholders in the oil and gas sector to urgently invest, resuscitate and develop the abandoned Orile parking space for petroleum tankers in order to reduce traffic gridlock in Apapa, Orile, and Mile-2 corridor of Lagos state.

The Ondo Rep, made the necessary and important call for the much needed social service at the 2018 edition of Lagos State Petroleum Marketers Safety Conference (LSPMSC) held in Federal Palace hotel VI, Lagos on Tuesday, September 18, 2018.

Akinlaja at the policy dialogue said lack of standard parking space in and around Orile-Iganmu, Apapa, Abule-Ado, etc where majority of private tank farms were located had resulted to gridlock on Lagos roads creating heavy toll on the health of the road users, reducing their lifespan and adversely affecting their productivity as well as the economy of the nation.
