Nigeria’s Seaports Operating Far Above Installed Capacity – NPA MD(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Mr Mohammed Bello-Koko, Acting Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), has said that the two Lagos seaports located in Lekki and Tin Can Island were operating “far beyond their installed capacities”.
“In 2006, when NPA concessioned the terminals, there was a Development Plan between the NPA and the terminal operators and that development plan included both physical development and the deployment of equipment.
“Whenever APM Terminal system is down, it causes a lot of backlog in terms of traffic.
“I met with Truck Transit Park (TTP), the firm that deployed ‘Eto’ system platform on behalf of the NPA, and we analysed what has been happening from February to May.
“Very often, we have situations where a trucker is along the route and he has his Eto ticket and at the next bus stop, a security agent stops him to say let me see your Eto ticket and the Eto ticket number is 123456.
