“We want to know how many jobs the maritime sector will create.” Nigeria
Amaechi made this known in Lagos at the 3rd Maritime Stakeholders’ Interactive Forum he hosted along with Saraki.He said that while Saraki was taking care of the maritime agencies, he would be focusing on the railway sector.
He also said that there would be a collaboration between the Nigerian Ports Authority and the National Inland Waterways Authority to achieve efficiency, while more vessels would be bought. He said it was a facility that allowed parties involved in trade and transport to lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point to fulfill all import, export, and transit-related regulatory requirements. Saraki, on her part, promised to work on issues associated with cadets having sea-time in Nigeria.
“We are actually competing with the cost and demurrage, and 35 per cent of the cost will be removed by next month, that is with the shipping lines,” he said. “Before, truck from Apapa to Lagos was about N800, 000, but now it is a bit cheaper,” he said.Some stakeholders at the event requested for an intergrated transport system to help unlock the maritime potential in Nigeria.
