On any normal day, getting your consignment delivered should be hassle free,but presently it has become somewhat of a herculean task doing this as a result of the road construction going on in Apapa (wharf road). these activities haven’t gone unnoticed as it has affected the smooth flow of business for clearing agents and all stakeholders involved. there is always a constant traffic gridlock there which makes it difficult for one to easily get a truck to load and deliver in due time. most clearing agents who could normally boast of clearing goods in say 5 days,would count themselves lucky if they can achieve same feat in 2 weeks. The construction is being handled by AG-DANGOTE Construction Company Limited company which is being handled slowly but must confess being handled professionally and with quality materials. What is most worrisome now is the terminal and shipping charges continue to increase due to this delay which is beyond the clearing agents control. on the shipping side where you have container deposits, these deposits are exhausted and you even get additional detention invoices to pay up to the shipping line. as for the terminal, you pay for everyday your cargo is within their premises.
