Lagosians woke up on Friday, February 8, to see that surprisingly, the horrible sight of the infamous Tankers and Trailers which usually queued along the length of eko bridge had gone.
The tankers and trailers have been a major concern to the people of Lagos state as they not only cause traffic, but also pose a safety risk to commuters on that axis.
So, for the next two days at least, Lagosians will have a breather from the inconvenience of the articulated vehicles packed on the bridge.
Below are some reactions from Lagosians.
-BREAKING NEWS:
Driving through Eko bridge down to Alaka through to Stadium and there is no sight of trailers, tankers and containers.
Buhari is coming to Lagos all of a sudden there is no tanker on Lagos roads?
So there is actually a solution?
Wow wow wow. – @PureMind__
“-8 Days to the Elections and everything in Lagos seems to be working fine..
– ASUU Calls Off Strike
– Tankers on Ikorodu Road/Eko Bridge Cleared
– Pot-Holes on Major Roads been filled up
– Even the light in my area now stays for hours.” – @UcheKush_
“I’m so angry and upset about this. Exactly a year ago today, because of THESE SAME F**KING TANKERS, I was knocked off Eko bridge on a bike. I broke my right leg in several places, cracked my ribs and broke my left arm. The bike rider died on the spot.” – @Danonles91
“The tankers that have been on Eko Bridge & Ikorodu road have only been cleared on 2 occasions in more than 1 year. For the Lagos Marathon & for Buhari’s visit on Saturday.
These people can solve problems. They just don’t rate us” – @i_am_llemona

“The Government is WICKED…
So because @MBuhari Will be in Lagos tomorrow they had to move all those trucks away from the bridges and roads leading to Eko Bridge /Funsho Williams Avenue and axis..
So where did they automatically keep them?
It’s pathetic
How long do we continue this facade!” – @FireofFola
“There are no trucks on Eko bridge because the president is coming tomorrow. 2nd time in a week that these trucks have disappeared, which means there is a solution. These people don’t rate us.” – @ayaj_
“Osibanjo comes to Lagos, Ambode clears road.
Theresa May comes Lagos Ambode clears tankers. Buhari 48hrs before he arrives, Eko bridge is clear.
Lagos tax payers suffer daily to work or business Ambode unlooks. Aren’t tankers tourist attractions in Lagos, why take them off?” – @ThePakuma
