Kobo360 plans aggressive expansion in Kenya and Ghana, Food crisis imminent as lockdown continues to restrict cargo movement – Kobo360
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The government imposed lockdown has disrupted the movement of food cargoes across the country and will ultimately lead to a food crisis, Kobo360 has said.

According to the statement from the logistics company, no less than 3,000 Kobo360 trucks are parked, due to the movement restrictions, as truck drivers involved in the flow of some essential goods, have interpreted the directive to mean that their trucks and goods would be impounded.

“Kobo360 has been intent on keeping Africa moving during COVID-19, as an interruption to the flow of the movement of essential goods in Nigeria will undoubtedly lead to another crisis – food shortage.

The company called for the government to clarify the restrictions so that cargo drivers can move without harassment from security agencies, to ensure continued flow in the food supply chain.
