| Lagos Tin-Can Port |
The spokesman of the association, Bolaji Akinola made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday.
According to him, the ports in Lagos had the capacity to handle beyond the volume of cargo they were handling at the moment if government paid attention to the issue of dilapidated port access roads as well as end the manual handling of cargo clearing processes.
The statement read in part, “It is important to correct the understanding of the public about the ports. The hinterland infrastructure leading to the ports in Lagos, namely, the roads are at breaking points. The ports are not congested and are not at breaking points.

“Most of the terminals in the two ports in Lagos are operating below capacity. The busiest terminals are operating at less than 70 per cent at the yard and 60 per cent at berth. So, there is no port congestion anywhere as of today.”
STOAN said the ports operation was not about the size of the port only, but about the efficiency of the connecting facilities around the port.
