Registration of port service providers by NSC will sanitise maritime sector – Institute vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Mr Sampson Chima, the Institute’s Registrar, made this known to the Newsmen in Lagos on Friday while speaking on port reforms.
The NSC had in January introduced registration fees to be paid by all service providers at the ports.Chima said that such a reform whereby people had to pay money would always attract some resistance.“The NSC as the port’s economic regulator and by virtue of the law establishing it, is empowered to register every operator in the industry and by so doing, may require stipends to do so.
“You discover that every agency does it; even Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency that registers vessels collects registration fees for profiling of operators, so what NSC is doing is right.“It is in order as far as you have one or two things to do with the NSC; so that in the event of you looking for their assistance, they will confirm that you are a known practitioner,’’ he said.
