Lagos — Ahead of the deployment of the electronic call system to the Lekki Port Corridor, the Petroleum Tankers Drivers, PTD and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG and other stakeholders operating along the Lekki Port corridor have agreed on the amount payable call up platform but have disagreed on who bared the cost of traffic management.
At a meeting hosted by the Lagos State Government, both PTD and NUPENG resolved that marketers be made to bore the cost of bringing all trucks onto the call up platform.
Although, most of that stakeholder that attended the meeting refused to speak with Vanguard Maritime Report however, the Lagos Commissioner for Transport, Mr. Seun Osiyemi in a response to questions sent via WhatsApp said that there were no issues regarding the deployment of the Call Up system to the Lekki Port corridor.
It was however gathered that Osiyemi had met with some top-level management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL over the issue of truck and traffic management in that axis.
