Nigeria In One Minute

Why we can’t effectively implement call-up system now –NPA

The Port Manager of Tin-can Island port, Emmanuel Akporherhi, has said that the traffic gridlock around the port area has made it difficult to effectively implement the truck call-up system.

In an exclusive chat with Vanguard Maritime Report recently, Akporherhe said though the system is functional at a minimum level, full implementation will start once the palliative works on the Apapa – Mile2 axes of the road by stakeholders is completed.

According to him, “The call-up system is already on but I am talking of effective implementation. The one that will allow the trucks that are to be called in to get to the port and get back easily.

“At the same time, to allow those that ought to come to the port normally to work but if the road is not passable, it is not very easy to sort that out but all hands are on deck now for the palliative works on the road to be done”.
