This was revealed in a statement issued yesterday by the company’s General Manager, External Relations, Mr. Daniel Odibe.
“APM Terminals hereby informs the port community and general public of a positive COVID19 case concerning a staff of APM Terminals Apapa Limited. The said employee’s last day at work was on April 16th 2020.”
“The employee developed malaria symptoms and was referred to a hospital where he was initially treated before he was referred to NCDC for further test. We were informed on April 27th 2020 that the test result came out positive.”

Recall that a staff of Ports and Cargo Handling Terminal at Tin Can Island Port recently tested positive to COVID-19.
The Ports and Cargo staff last reported to office on Friday, April 17th, 2020 after realizing his father-in-law had tested positive to the virus.
Subsequently, he isolated himself and later developed symptoms before eventually testing positive to the COVID-19.
