The Minister of State for Transportation, Senator Gbemisola Saraki on Monday started a tour of the Lagos ports during which she gave her support for ports infrastructure overhaul at the Tin Can Island port.
Senator Saraki during her tour said she was in full support of the reconstruction of the quay walls.
In her words, “We cannot build on a weak foundation, it is vital that we get these two very important ports modernised and ready to berth modern vessels. The state of the ports show decades of neglect but it’s better late than never".
It would be recalled that the NPA Managing Director, Mohammed Bello Koko had told newsmen recently that the authority was planning reconstruction of the Quay walls of the TinCan Island Port Complex.
Bello Koko said this was because the walls have become weak.
