Lillypond Truck Park May Rake-in N300Million Monthly From Electronic Call Up

Investigations by Shipping Position Daily have revealed that the Lillypond Truck Transit Park at Ijora in Apapa being managed by the Truck Transit Park Limited (TTPL) may rake-in not less than N300 Million naira monthly through the e- call up system of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA).

The Lillypond Transit Park has been designated as the transit park for trucks awaiting the electronic call up into the port,

Checks by our correspondents revealed that the transit park has capacity to conveniently take over 2000 trucks. But, a truck owner operating within the axis said it is expected that with the e-call up system, the TTP will take not less than 1000 trucks every day.

The management of the Ijora TTP had exclusively informed Shipping Position Daily, that a service fee of N10, 000 is expected to be paid by truckers for the use of the transit park.

Our correspondent gathered that if the management of the Lillypond park charges the 1000 trucks N10,000 on a daily basis it will amount to N10 million and on monthly basis should amount to about N300,000,00 and N3.6 billion yearly.

The huge revenue accruable has even prompted some stakeholders to express worries that with the N10,000 fee attached to the use of the truck transit park, the management may care less about ensuring that trucks that comes into the port meet minimum standard.

While some believed that the fee is nothing compared to what they are paying to move containers to the port, others condemned the fee.

Chairman of the Association of Maritime Truck Owners (AMATO) Chief Remi Ogungbemi in a recent chat with our correspondent condemned the payment of N10,000 fee, he said the fee shows that the NPA is only concerned about generating revenue and not to ensure minimum standard of trucks.

He said: “I don’t see any reason for that, I am seeing it as a way to rake in money and since the exercise is not about ensuring that the truck meet up with the minimum standard, I am worried  about the N10,000 attached to it, so it  look like what the management is concerned about is the N10,000 and not the minimum standard , they could have looked for other way to raise money instead of attaching money to the truck park, but I am in support that every truck that comes to the port must meet up with the minimum standard as required” he said.

On his part Mr. Adeyinka Bakare member of the governing council of Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN) said that if the e –call up is well-regulated paying N10,000 will not be an issue, considering that it takes not less than N200,000 to move a container from Ijora Olopa to the ports.

“The fee is not an issue and I will tell you why, it takes you nothing less than N200, 000 to move from Ijoro Olopa down to the port, nothing less than that, now if we begin to pay N10, 000 to have a smooth movement into Apapa, I don’t think that will be an issue, if it is well regulated.

But the issue is paying that 10,000 and at the end of the day you still have to pay another thing. We hope that the e-call up works. It's going to be to the advantage of everybody but we are waiting for the kick off” he said.

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
