Maritime workers task FG on rehabilitation of ports

The orgainsed Labour union said: ‘We have watched with total disbelief government continuous neglect and abandonment of the access roads to the nation’s seaports, the gateway to the nation’s economy, especially the Oshodi-Apapa Dual Carriage Way that leads to the nation’s two major ports of Apapa and Tin-Can.

The workers added: ”We have written several letters, made several appeals and even threatened industrial actions all in our efforts to ensure that the Federal Government and Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), live up to their responsibilities and do the needful on the access roads to no avail. As previous governments have abandoned the roads, so also has this current government.

The workers consequently gave the Federal Government a 21-day ultimatum to fix and make the access roads especially the Oshodi-Apapa Dual Carriage Way motorable.
