Tin Can Port Access Crisis: NSC, FRSC Explore Strategies

By Kenneth Jukpor

The Executive Secretary/CEO, Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Mr. Hassan Bello, together with officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), undertook an inspection tour of the Tin Can Island Port access roads with a view to figuring out how movement of trucks through the artery can be made easier.

Recall that the Shippers’ Council boss had last week visited some shipping companies and terminals to discuss, among other things, the effects of the Apapa gridlock on their businesses, particularly in this season.

The visit to Tin Can Island was to explore some suggestions made by some terminals on the possibility of opening up certain roads.

This information was disclosed in a press release signed by the Head of Public Relations at NSC, Rakiya Zubairu, yesterday.
