The Lagos State government and the leadership of the Nigerian Port Authority say they are prepared for the trial phase of the much talked about electronic Call-Up System which is intended to ease traffic gridlock around Apapa ports.

Governor BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU made this known when he received the NPA Managing Director, HADIZA BALA USMAN at the State House, Alausa.

BALA USMAN said the visit to the State House was to brief the governor on the status of the electronic call-up platform which would take effect from Saturday, February 27.

In his response, Governor SANWOOLU commended the NPA for their dedication towards ending the Apapa gridlock and expressed optimism on the transparency and full implementation of the electronic call-up system.

In business news, there are strong indications that the country may be thrown another round of fuel scarcity as members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria disrupted loading of petroleum products at private depots in Apapa.

It was the same development at Ibadan, Ejigbo and Mosimi depots belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

It was learnt that the marketers picketed the facilities to protest their inability to get products due to a new payment method introduced by the Petroleum Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of the NNPC.

The Chairman, IPMAN, Ore Depot, Mr SHINA AMOO, confirmed the development in an interview in Ibadan.

He said the members of the association blocked the depots with tankers to protest the new payment method.
