Rail line construction raises fresh threat to cargo clearing at Apapa Ports -

By Godwin Oritse SOME importers and   licensed Customs agents at the Lagos Port Complex, Apapa, have appealed to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, CCECC, the contractor handling construction of the rail line, to avoid disrupting the movement of containers in and out of the port. The port users believe that any such disruption at the nation’s busiest seaport would further increase the cost of clearing and prices of goods in the market, worsen inflation in the country and compound the Apapa gridlock. Last month, the importers and clearing agents said they were unable to conclude their transactions while loaded trucks were unable to exit the port when CCECC mobilised to site, blocked the container terminal truck exit gate and began demolition of structures in the terminal. The blockade also made it impossible for empty trucks to enter the terminal to pick up containers for delivery to their owners.
