Shippers’ Council targets 30% reduction in cost of clearing goods vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Speaking at a one day enlightenment seminar organized by the Council in collaboration with the Standard Organisation of Nigeria, SON, in Lagos yesterday, Executive Secretary of the Council, Mr. Hassan Bello, said that most of the charges that are currently being paid by Nigerian importers are not tied to services.
Bello stated: “We have to take into consideration the cost of cargo, some costs are not justified, they are not tied to service and that is what we have been calling for, the shipping companies have been very understanding, we have gone through all the cost so that we can have a template. We are not going to control cost but we will not allow arbitrary charges in the Nigerian port industry in the course of clearing cargoes.
