Failure to complete the documentation will be met with denial of access into the ports”, the Authority further stated, and thanked the Lagos State Government,  for the commitment to end the truck congestion through enforcement.

“Management is grateful to all stakeholders and associations for their cooperation towards the successful implementation of the regime of reforms and hereby solicits continued support”.
