ajimobiThe Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has called on the Federal Government to expedite action on the Erunmu Inland Container Depot in the state and make it operational.

Represented by his Deputy, Mr Moses Alake Adeyemo, the Governor made this call at his office when a FG delegation, led by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport, Engineer Nebolisa Emodi, paid him a visit.

Mr. Adeyemo lamented the extremely slow pace of the FG on the project which started 10 years ago, but never saw the light of day despite the state government making necessary provisions on the site many years back.

The leader of the delegation and Director of the Shippers’ Council, Mr Patrick Odeh, disclosed that the team which included Nigeria Customs, Shippers’ Council, Ministry of Transport, The Concessionaire, and the host community were in the state to inspect the facility so work can commence on the project.

The Executive Secretary, Bureau of Public Private Partnership in Oyo State, Mr Yinka Fatoki, explained that a lot of bottlenecks from the Customs to the various stakeholders have been major impediments to the laudable initiative.
