Alakija mentioned the recent deadlock in the meeting between the Nigeria Labour Congress and the federal government, expressing discomfort with the approach taken in the negotiations.

Abubakar also appealed to the federal government through the Ministries of Transportation and Works to expedite action on the dilapidated Quay Apron at Tin Can Island Port and that of Onne Port Access Road which is continuously resulting into litigation and loss of revenue.
