The Senate Committee on Works says plans are underway to invite the Nigeria Ports Authority in the coming week over the lingering Apapa gridlock.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya, made this known in a meeting with management of APM Terminals in Abuja on Thursday.
“We will also invite all owners of terminals, manufacturers, tank farm owners and other stakeholders to the meeting. ” It is unfortunate that some Nigerians who do not want the progress of this country are benefitting so much from this. He added that it would commence operation, everything being equal in June, stressing that it would help ease congestion while bringing succour to motorists.
Earlier, the Managing Director of APM Terminal, Mr Martins Jacob, said the problem was multifaceted, adding that unless it was tackled holistically, no significant impact would be made.Jacob said the bad road condition and absence of an efficient traffic management system were part of the problem.
