Lagos — The leadership of the Lagos State Truck and Cargo Operators Committee (LASTCOC) has applauded the round-the-clock presence of the Apapa Port Manager, Mr. Adebowale Lawal, noting that his daily 24-hour engagement has significantly improved traffic conditions on the port access roads.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, LASTCOC, Mr. Shittu Lukmon, said the improved traffic flow has boosted the movement of export trucks into the Lagos Port Complex, LPC, of the Nigerian Ports Authority, helping to ease congestion at the Export Processing Terminals, EPTs in and around Lagos.
He noted that Lawal’s commitment and dedication to duty are truly inspiring, adding that the trucking community has every reason to support his efforts toward ensuring a more efficient port system at the Lagos Port Complex.
He said: “This is commendable work from the Apapa Port Manager. I have never seen a Port Manager like him. I’ve seen him at the port on Saturdays and Sundays, making sure the entire system runs seamlessly.
“The Port Manager works day and night, even on weekends, focusing on export operations, and sometimes he remains at the port until 2 a.m. before heading home.”
