The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), in collaboration with the Lagos State Government and relevant security agencies, has commenced a full scale clean-up operation at the two Lagos ports.
According to a statement signed recently by the NPA spokesman, Olaseni Alakija, “The exercise tagged ‘360 Degrees Cargo Clearance’ is expected to cover all entry approaches to the Tin Can Island Complex, Lagos Port Complex, Kirikiri Lighter Terminals I&II and the port corridor crisscrossing Tin Can – Coconut – Sunrise – Mile 2 – Orile – Ijora Sifax – Ijora Olopa – Lilypond – Area B – Wharf Road – Creek Road – Old Dockyard Road – Seaplane – Apapa Wharf Gate.
“The operations will ensure the clearance of shanties, kiosks, abandoned vehicles, machineries, equipment, and containers obstructing the free flow of traffic as well as those constituting environmental nuisance or serving as hideouts for criminal elements.
“All those who illegally trade or reside in these aforementioned places are advised to vacate these areas forthwith. The understanding and cooperation of members of the public are solicited during the exercise. The goal of this clean-up operation is to make our ports safer and environmentally friendly.
