Reacting to the development, Comrade Adeyinka Aroyewun , Chairman, Council of Maritime Transport Union and Association, said that TTP has nothing to do with free traffic movement along the port corridor adding that the company has not delivered on the deliverables.
Aroyewun stated: The roads are not free because of TTP, TTP has not done anything to free the road of traffic, and they are only fighting over the illicit monies they are collecting from truckers nothing more.
“They just have to leave the system, we have given them some time and we have decided to approach the Courts to get them out of that place, they must leave.”
Part of the agreement by the management of TTP was to mount Cameras on the port access roads and all truck parks across the state.
