He said: “Last year, we added 25 trucks to bring the total number in our fleet to 100. Despite this, we still couldn’t meet the increasing demands of our customers. The new trucks will help the company cope with these ever-rising orders from customers. The plan is to take delivery of these new trucks before the end of the first half of the year and take the size of our fleet to 125.”

Adetayo also said the company is also working on having its own truck transit park which would help facilitate the e-call up system being championed by the Nigerian Ports Authority. “We will soon be converting our empty container depot at Ijora to a truck transit park which would help the movement of our trucks in and out of the Apapa and Tin Can Island ports”.

On the company’s 2021 plan, Paul Linden, Managing Director, SIFAX Logistics Company Limited said strategies have been developed to improve service offering, increase revenue and achieve better customer service experience for the year.

These strategies include aggressive marketing to both local and international customers, as well as improvement of our customer service offering.
