Reflecting
on the fatal explosions that occurred in the Apapa area of Lagos, Wednesday
night, experts have warned of the need to find a solution to the perennial
traffic gridlocks and to limit the quantity and concentration of hydrocarbons
in the area.
Experts
warned that the casualties would have been much more, if the explosion had
engulfed the huge number of fuel bearing tankers lining the area.
According
to them, the blockage of the roads by the tankers would have made escape and
consequent evacuation of the casualties difficult, if not impossible.
