NPA MD Inspects Tin Can Access Road

...Vows To Consolidate On Current Free Flow Traffic

To consolidate on the gains recently recorded in the free flow of traffic along the Mile 2 TinCan Port corridors and the clearance of illegal check points and extortion centers on the road, Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Mohammed Bello-Koko yesterday, Monday March 25th inspected the road.

Speaking on the sidelines of the unscheduled spot check, the MD said “our zero tolerance for all forms of impediments to free flow of traffic is no fluke, and we are poised to consolidate the gains we have recorded first in Apapa and now Tincan. We are grateful to the Honourable Minister of Marine & Blue Economy His Excellency Adegboyega Oyetola (CON) and the Lagos State Governor for the tremendous support we have received in this regard”.

He went further to say that the Ports access roads are international corridors, which means traffic gridlock along such sensitive road networks apart from negating port productivity is an international embarrassment that requires the synergy of all stakeholders to tackle sustainably. The managing director stressed that the causes of the gridlock are rooted in factors that are external to NPA, but noted that NPA have a duty as the gateway to the national economy to take the front line role in tackling the menace.

On the menace of refuse blocking the drainages, Bello Koko said, "Although i have directed our relevant in-house department to commence desilting of the drainages and clearance of the refuse, we will enlist the cooperation and intensify synergy with Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Federal Ministry of Works under whose purview waste and road management resides to arrest the ugly trend”.
