Truck drivers, residents lament filth, open defecation along Nigeria’s ports corridor

Vanguard NigeriaIndependentCenter2 days ago

Truck drivers and residents along Nigeria's ports corridor have expressed concern over increasing instances of open defecation, improper waste disposal, and poor sanitation. The issue has sparked a dispute between the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and Apapa Local Government Area (LGA). The NPA claims its responsibilities are confined to within the port area, whereas Apapa LGA asserts that it lacks funding from port operations to maintain the surrounding roads.
