The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has declared a major victory in the battle against the longstanding gridlock that has plagued the Mile 2-TinCan-Apapa corridor, attributing the success to the concerted efforts of various stakeholders.

In an official statement released on social media, the NPA announced the successful clearance of the decade-long gridlock caused primarily by the indiscriminate parking of container trucks along the corridor. This development marks a significant milestone in the efforts to streamline port operations and enhance efficiency in Nigeria’s maritime sector.

The once congested and impassable corridor has now been transformed into a smoothly flowing thoroughfare, drastically reducing the travel time for export containers entering the port from an average of 10 days to less than one hour. This remarkable achievement underscores the tangible benefits of collaborative efforts in addressing complex logistical challenges.

Acknowledging the key players instrumental in this accomplishment, the NPA highlighted the indispensable roles played by the Lagos State Government, the Nigerian Navy, and the Nigeria Police Force, as well as the support of Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, the Minister of Maritime and Blue Economy.

“The Management of the Nigerian Ports Authority continues to appreciate the renewed partnership with the Lagos State Government, the Nigerian Navy, the Nigeria Police Force, and the support of the Honorable Minister of Maritime and Blue Economy, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, in clearing the 12-year hideous gridlock on the Mile 2—TinCan—Apapa corridor,” the statement read.

Furthermore, the NPA noted that the resolution of the gridlock has yielded multifaceted benefits beyond just easing traffic congestion. It has significantly reduced the cost of commercial transport of goods, improved the turnaround time for trucks, and lowered the overall cost of imports. Moreover, the enhanced efficiency in port operations has bolstered port security, reduced shipping costs, and bolstered port competitiveness on a global scale.

“To prevent the resurgence of the decade-long gridlock on the Mile 2-TinCan-Apapa corridor, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) reaffirms its commitment to ongoing engagement with stakeholders to sustain this monumental achievement,” the NPA stated.
