The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, the Association of Licensed Customs Agents of Onne and local stakeholders at the Onne Port have issued a four-day ultimatum to the Federal Government. Their demand revolves around the poor condition of internal roads within the port and the implementation of E-Call Up levies on trucks entering the port.
The unions gave the ultimatum during a joint press conference. They claim that the deplorable state of the roads and the E-Call Up levies are affecting the smooth running of businesses at the port. Furthermore, they allege that the Nigeria Port Authority (NPA) has refused to provide loading bays for trucks, despite their repeated appeals.
If the ultimatum, which expires on July 17th, is not met, the unions have threatened to halt business activities at the port.
