The Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents has questioned the timing of the public hearing for the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria bill.
ANLCA raised questions about fixing the public hearing at a time the coronavirus pandemic was still ravaging the nation.
“The CRFFN Act amendment bill, sponsored by Hon Patrick Asadu, on July 18, is not even made public yet and stakeholders do not know what amendments are being proposed. But judging from the body language of some of those pushing for the amendment, it is all for pecuniary reasons and not to advance the course of the industry.”
The union said, “The lawmakers should be informed that there are misconceptions surrounding the Customs brokers and freight forwarders’ differences in the CRFFN.
