COMTUA Blasts NPA, TTP Over “Corrupt” Port Call-Up System

The Council of Maritime Transport Unions and Associations (COMTUA) has accused the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and Truck Transit Park Limited (TTP) of running a “failed and corrupt” call-up system that continues to disrupt port operations in Lagos.

In a statement signed by National President Adeyinka Aroyewun, COMTUA said the electronic platform—intended to ease port traffic—has instead worsened congestion, fostered extortion, and promoted favoritism. The union noted that despite TTP’s contract expiration and ongoing legal challenges, the system remains unchanged, frustrating truckers and maritime operators.

COMTUA called the arrangement “a criminal conspiracy” designed to generate illicit revenue, urging government intervention to dismantle the platform. It recommended that terminal operators regain control to directly manage truck call-ups, restoring transparency and efficiency in the sector.
