“I have advised NAGAFF TinCan members and elders not to come to the port any day it rains heavily if they don’t have much business within the port premises to do because the aftermath of the rain causes serious air pollution, most drainages that are blocked with plastic waste makes the road flooded.
“This road was reconstructed with tax payers’ money to the tune of over N72 billion and if it is not maintained, stakeholders will also face the consequences. The road was reconstructed during the regime of former President Muhammadu Buhari”

“l sincerely appreciate your prompt response despite the short notice given for this meeting. By God’s grace, l will not disappoint you, let us continue to facilitate trade” he charged.
