Oyetola sets up committee to clear Apapa, Tin-Can gridlock, review e-call-up

As part of efforts to reduce the Apapa gridlock and strengthen the e-call-up system, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy minister, Adegboyega Oyetola, has set up a committee to clear the gridlock on major access roads to Apapa and Tin-Can Island ports in Lagos.

The committee is also saddled with the responsibility of reviewing the e-call-up system and coming up with measures to ensure the current abuse of the system becomes a thing of the past.

Daily Trust had reported that the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) had recovered several fake vehicle plate numbers used by truck drivers to gain access into the port in Apapa and undermine the e-call-up system.
