Commuters and Transport Workers Lament Traffic Congestion at Awolowo Market, Sagamu

Commuters and commercial transport workers at Awolowo Market in Makun Sagamu have expressed their frustration over the traffic congestion caused by traders who overflow their wares onto the road. This has led to serious traffic congestion, making it difficult for vehicles to move freely. The commuters and transport workers are calling on the market authority to do something about this menace.

According to a commercial bus driver, who plies the Sagamu-Lagos route, traffic congestion at the market is a daily occurrence. He said that the traders who overflow their wares onto the road cause serious traffic jams, which affects the free flow of vehicular movement. He added that this situation has led to a loss of revenue for commercial transport workers, as they spend more time in traffic than on the road.

The commuters and transport workers are calling on the market authority to take urgent action to address this situation. They are urging the market authority to enforce the rules and regulations governing the market and to ensure that traders do not overflow their wares onto the road.

They are also calling on the authorities to provide alternative parking spaces for traders, so that they do not have to use the road as a parking space.
