The action is expected to further complement the efforts aimed at improving efficiency at port operations.
In a bid to check the importation of fake and substandard products into the country in line with established protocols, plans are underway to operationalise the National Single Window project as well as deploy scanners at the nation’s seaports before the end of the year.
According to him, “this will significantly improve cargo turnaround time at our ports, promote efficiency and transparency, thereby removing the corruption opportunities that fuel the entry of substandard goods into the country, and enhance Nigerian ports’ competitiveness in the West African region.”
The Special Adviser to the President on Ease of Doing Business, Jumoke Oduwole, represented at the hearing by Oluwatoyin Bashir, said the action would further complement the efforts of the Buhari Administration aimed at improving efficiency at port operations. Ms Oduwole said streamlining agencies’ operations at the port is at the core of Nigeria’s ease of doing business reforms and in line with global best practices aimed at removing bureaucratic constraints and reducing costs to doing business at the ports.
