The directives were given by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Godwin Eke, during a meeting with stakeholders at the ministry’s office complex in Lagos.
After speaking extensively with stakeholders, Eke directed the tankers to immediately vacate the roads while service providers were to quickly relocate their cables from the RoW.
“We need to do something urgently to ensure smooth running of the project.
“When the project starts, we will not be able to wait for companies to relocate utility services; so I am appealing to all stakeholders to act fast in the interest of us all.
“Leave the roads so that this contractor, AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd, can begin excavation on site,’’ he said.
Stakeholders present at the meeting included representatives of telecommunication service providers, Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), transport unions, port operators, shippers unions and AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd, the construction company handling the project.
