Ports and cargo clearance issues was the focus on Friday’s edition of Business Morning.
Two maritime experts; a member of the Freight Forwarding Group, Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Ikenna Nwosu, and the Assistant Secretary, Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Apapa Chapter , Emma Okoli, agreed that the challenges of cargo clearing at the Lagos port have been a recurring problem for many years.
They cited issues such as poor infrastructure and logistics as some of the major challenges hindering smooth cargo delivery and clearing at the Lagos ports.
They called on the relevant Government agencies involved to take action to quicken the process of improving the nation’s seaports, as failure to do so may have negative implications on the country’s economy.
