The industrial action embarked upon by cargo workers operating at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, has exacerbated the supply chain pressures being experienced by local importers, especially manufacturers and logistics companies, which had their goods trapped at the airport for several weeks, Business Hallmark can report.
Many firms, which had shipped raw materials and replacement parts for their machineries, as well as logistics firms in the cargo haulage business, which had their goods trapped at the airport, it was learnt, lost several billions of naira while the strike lasted.
