The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has warned against the unauthorized unpacking of cargo from the container along the port access road.
Nigerian Ports Authority Managing Director, Mohammed Bello Koko, delivered the cautionary message during his weekend visit to the Tin-Can Island Port, where he personally inspected designated container stripping yards in the vicinity.
Koko emphasized that truckers engaged in this illicit activity face the serious consequence of being delisted from the electronic call-up system platform, which is managed by the Trucks Transit Parks (TTP).
