The Lagos State Government Monday announced drastic measures in the bid to ease the chaotic gridlock that characterises West Africa’s most populous city. Those measures included the outright ban on the operations of commercial motorcycles and tricycles in six local governments in Lagos city. In most cases, people leave home as early as 3:00 a.m. so as to beat traffic and get home as late as the middle of the night. It is imperative to mention that people spend quality time in traffic. Exorcising the demon that is Lagos traffic needs to happen fast.
