Managing Director of the
Nigerian Ports Authority, Mohammed Bello-Koko, says traffic gridlock along port
access roads is an international embarrassment and is impeding productivity.
He said stakeholders in
the sector must synergise to end the gridlock menace in port access roads.
According to him, the
agency’s zero tolerance for all impediments to the free traffic flow was no
fluke.
“Ports access roads are
an international corridor, which means traffic gridlock along such sensitive
road networks, apart from negating port productivity, is an international
embarrassment that requires the synergy of all stakeholders to tackle
sustainably.
Bello-Koko stated that,
although the causes of the gridlock are rooted in factors external to the NPA,
the NPA still have a duty as the gateway to the national economy to take the
frontline role in tackling this menace.
