In 2017, Transport Canada ruled passengers on the lower, enclosed levels could no longer remain in their vehicles during crossings. The federal body relaxed the rule early in the pandemic, but reinstated it in September.

In an interview, Johnston said acting now is essential, rather than waiting for COVID variants to take hold.

Daily Trust - Apapa Gridlock

Because of their penchant for stopping haulage vehicles to collect illegal fees, long stretches of vehicles are the norm.

Truck drivers allege that they pay over N200,000 per truck at the checkpoints illegally erected on the port access roads. The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) had earlier threatened to embark on strike over the suffering its members are subjected to as a result of the gridlock. But following pacification by the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), the planned strike was suspended.
