The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has launched a multi-agency task force to combat the resurgence of traffic gridlock choking the Lagos port access roads.
The initiative represents a fresh push to restore seamless cargo evacuation and alleviate the operational bottlenecks that have plagued the corridor.
The move comes as the NPA seeks to rally stakeholders within the Nigerian port corridor to tackle challenges affecting the ease of doing business.
Managing Director Dr. Abubakar Daura has been central to these efforts, focusing on resolving the logistical friction that delays shipments and increases costs for traders and logistics providers.
Lagos remains the primary gateway for Nigeria's imports and exports, making port efficiency critical for the broader economy.
Persistent congestion on access roads not only delays cargo clearance but also exacerbates supply chain disruptions, impacting everything from consumer goods availability to industrial input costs.
