To tackle the chaotic gridlock that is hindering cargo clearance, the Chartered Institute of Transport Administration of Nigeria. (CIOTA) said it plans to engage corps members to control traffic along the roads leading to the Lagos port complex.
President of CIOTA, Bashir Jamoh, at the recent National Transportation Summit in Lagos, stated that it is time to restructure the rickety means of transportation that the nation currently has.
He said: “It is time to re-orientate the touting that occurs at our motor parks, all in the name of transportation.”
“We will partner with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and ask them to give us some of their members who will be enlisted in this volunteer group of CIOTA.
“They will be dressed in CIOTA uniform and deployed through collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to address the gridlock in and around our seaport.
