The Chairman, National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders, NAGAFF, Tin Can Island chapter, Forwarder Emeka Paul Chiedozie has condemned the indiscriminate dropping of plastic waste,
human feaces on the Tin Can Island access road which can cause epidemic if not tackled urgently.

Chiedozie, while speaking to journalists at Tin Can, Lagos, said the amount of plastic waste and human feaces along Tin Can Island access road and inside drainages can affects stakeholders'  health.

 "The air pollution is so bad that it can cause an epidemic. Most of the drainages are already blocked, stakeholders have not even started enjoying the road but waste has taken over some portions of the road. There is no maintenance on the road.

"I have advised NAGAFF Tin Can members and elders not to come to the port any day it rains heavily if they don't have much business within the port premises to do because the aftermath of the rain causes serious air pollution, most drainages that are blocked with plastic waste makes the road flooded.

"This road was reconstructed with tax payers' money to the tune of over N72 billion and if it is not maintained, stakeholders will also face the consequences. The road was reconstructed during the regime of former President Muhammadu Buhari."

He appealed to the Federal, Lagos state and local government to tackle this condemnable acts urgently so that it will not affect stakeholder's health.

He also appreciated the elders of the association in the chapter for their support since his assumption  as Chairman, NAGAFF Tin Can Island Chapter.

"l sincerely appreciate your prompt response despite the short notice given for this meeting. By God's grace, l will not disappoint you, let us continue to facilitate trade."
