Tin Can Port Now ‘Oluwole Market’, Says MWUN, Threatens Withdrawal Of Service From Five Star Logistics Terminal

The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has expressed concerns about the deteriorating state of the access road leading to the TinCan Island port in Lagos.

 

In addition, the union has issued a strong warning to withdraw its services from Five Star Logistics terminal at the Tin Can Island Port Complex, due to the neglected collapsed quay apron at the port.

 

Speaking during a breakfast meeting organized by the Maritime Reporters Association of Nigeria (MARAN) under the theme “Rehabilitation of Tin Can Island Port: Proffering Workable Solutions,” MWUN President General, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju, voiced his concerns and announced the union’s course of action.

 

Adeyanju stated that the MWUN has resolved to withdraw all services provided by its members at Tin Can Island port, particularly targeting the Five Star Logistics terminal, effective Monday.

 

He said the directive has already been issued, while emphasizing on the urgency and seriousness of the situation.

 

Drawing attention to the broader challenges, he expressed dismay over the condition of the roads leading to the Lagos port. He likened the port to the bustling Oluwole market in Lagos Island, with artisans, mechanics, and vulcanizers occupying the roads and completely in disarray.

 

He explained that this situation has made commuting to the port a nightmare for workers, with heavy traffic congestion amid lack of proper infrastructure.

 

The MWUN president general cited examples of how some mini-houses are being erected on the roads, obstructing movement and posing a danger to pedestrians, including school children.

 

Speaking further, Adeyanju emphasized that the lives of MWUN members are at stake, and many have experienced mental stress due to the prevailing conditions. He also criticized the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for failing to remove individuals who have no legitimate business on the road leading to the port.

 

The MWUN president called for urgent attention to the roads and the rehabilitation of the  failed quay apron.

 

The MWUN president general commended the leadership of MARAN for shedding light on the substandard practices of certain terminal operators. He pointed out that while some operators are dedicated to maintaining high standards and promoting economic growth, others neglect their facilities, causing further harm to the industry’s reputation.

 

He stressed that the threat to withdraw services from the Five Star Logistics terminal at Tin Can port, coupled with their concerns about the collapsed quay apron and deteriorating access roads, underscored the urgent need for action.
