BEARS & BULLS
BEARS: Alhaji NARTO
As Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO struck a partnership with Maritime Worker’s Union of Nigeria (MWUN) to address the Lagos Port access quagmire, one of the NARTO members, an Alhaji, who witnessed the event observed a huge challenge as a Lagos resident.
It was indeed a comic relief as the truck owner who has spent 52 years of residence in Lagos lamented that he doesn’t qualify to be a Lagosian as he is still labeled a foreigner whereas Nigerians become residents of other nation’s abroad after 15-20years.
It’s a truly a conflicting arrangement to have someone born and resides in a state in Nigeria for decades, yet, never seen to be an indigene of that state.
