ELECTRONIC CALL UP: NPA MD Threatens Operators Over Shoddy Performance, Absence At Tin Can Port

“We have sacked 11 of our staff, done the needful at Tin Can port” -TTP

There is uncertainty over the continued retainership of Messrs Truck Transit Park Limited (TTPL) as the operators of the epileptic electronic call-up of trucks into Lagos ports.

Messrs Truck Transit Park Limited operates the electronic call up system via the eto platform on behalf of the Nigerian Ports Authourity (NPA).

While the service is facing serious challenges at the Apapa port, it is virtually non-existent at Tin Can port.

The defects in both the eto and the physical operations of the electronic call-up have become noticeable to the extent that the acting Managing Director of the NPA; Mohammed Bello Koko has given an order for a shape-up or ship out.

Even though he acknowledged that the poor state of the roads leading to Tin Can port is an impediment, he nevertheless expressed dissatisfaction about eto operations.

On the deployment of the electronic call-up system, code named “Eto”, Bello Koko noted that the system is yet to be effective in the Tin Can Port corridor, due to the poor state of the access road, as well as some failed roads within the port.

He however noted that although he is not completely satisfied with the deployment of the “Eto” platform, he gave the platform managers up to the end of June to live up to the game in terms of deploying the necessary assets and human resources, to complement the reconstruction of the roads by government.

Sources hinted that, another issue of worry to the NPA is the high rate of compromise of the electronic call-up system by personnel of TTPL.

Shipping Position Daily recalls that many truck owners have alleged that personnel of TTP have devised means or undermining the electronic call up system. They accused the staff of colluding with security personnel to issue fake electronic tickets and also beat the electronic in-gate procedure at the port.

They alleged that, for as high as N300,000 per truck, the electronic call up system has been compromised by a combination of TTP officials and personnel of security and traffic control agencies that were drafted to the port corridors.

Sources confirmed to our correspondent last week that, the acting MD of NPA and his team were surprised that, while the Ijora truck park was not fully fitted with all that were needed for an efficient truck management facility, there was nothing on ground at Tin Can that can pass for an electronic call-up.

When contacted, the managing director of TTP, Mr Debo Adeboye told our correspondent that, his organisation was doing everything to ensure that the electronic call up system works better.

Responding to allegation of underhand dealings by employees of TTP, Mr Adeboye disclosed that 11 staff have so far been sacked for various infarctions.

He said: “14 of them faced disciplinary committee, out of the 14, 11 were sacked, we will continue to reduce human interface in the e call up system, increase our deployment of technology”.

According to him, there is so much money in the system with which personnel involved in the working of the system can be induced.

“The minimum salary we pay is N150,000 in a month, but someone is willing to give him that every day to pass one truck, this is enough inducement”. The way out is to improve the technology such that, even if they give him the money, they can not beat your technology or your technology shows what they have done almost immediately”, he added.

While denying that the Ijora facility had any deficiency, he acknowledged that most of the things that were not at Tin Can have been put in place.

He also accused the petroleum product tankers for the emerging traffic hiccups along the Apapa port corridor.

“What is happening is that oil and gas people have started moving their cargoes to this side of Apapa, because the Tin Can side is blocked, they are moving-in indiscriminately because they are not on the e call-up system”, Mr Adeboye said.

On the complaints that the eto application is slow, he disclosed that, the operators sometimes shut it down to clear backlog of trucks.

“We can control all the trucks in the e call-up system, and that’s why people keep on saying that our platform is slow or down. It’s because we shut it down to control the traffic, but we can’t do that for oil and gas and a group of other players in this ecosystem that are not on the e call-up system, that we have no control over”, he lamented.

He also disclosed that the six garages that were suspended for various infractions had been recalled, after they were cautioned.

Adeboye disclosed that the six garages were releasing trucks “when it was not their appointed time to release trucks; different types of trucks have different times for movement. What they did was that they started gating-in and gating-out of trucks while some trucks were in the parks”.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
