07 Jun 2018 / Lagos, Nigeria
According to local reports, containers are trapped inside Lagos Port Complex Apapa as a result of the lockdown created by the introduction of a new policy on the return of containers to the port.
Problems are reported to have started after Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) management took over control of traffic in and out of the port area from the Nigerian Navy. In protest, truck drivers serving the port downed tools on Tuesday and Wednesday (5 & 6 June). The resulting confusion in cargo operation at the port has led to a large backlog of containers which should have left the port.
The NPA action was limited only to the Lagos Port Complex Apapa, while business is continuing as usual at Tin Can Island Port.
