Truckers protest extortion, inefficiencies in Lagos ports

Maritime truck owners and drivers yesterday protested against issues surrounding the electronic call-up system, racketeering, terminal inefficiencies causing trucks to queue on port access roads, and multiple extortions, which have taken a financial toll on businesses. The protesters, who marched from the Lillypond Truck Park in Ijora to Apapa Port and Tin Can Island Port, warned that extortion checkpoints, racketeering, and terminal inefficiencies not only create financial strain on truck operators but also delay cargo movement by hindering truck entry and exit from the ports.
