The poor quality of port access roads, complex port procedures and an ineffective truck call-up system are among factors contributing to delays, inefficiencies and gridlock in Apapa, with huge costs to Nigeria’s economy. The Enabling Business Environment Secretariat, with support from the UK government, held a one-day forum to dissect the issues contributing to the gridlock and develop a plan of action to tackle the challenges identified. Key stakeholders were invited to suggest solutions, identify their roles and responsibilities and hold each other accountable in the course of implementation.
