Manufacturers in the country have said
that the process of clearing cargo at the two major seaports in Lagos
requires a combination of 110 signatures.
According to them, before a manufacturer
can get his raw materials out of the Tin Can Island Port, about 70
people will have to......
inspect the goods and append their signatures to the
documents releasing the goods, while about 40 signatures are required
for the same process at the Apapa Port.
The industrialists made this observation
during an interactive session between the Nigeria Customs Service and
the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria.
Directing a series of questions to the
Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (retd), a manufacturer,
who identified himself simply as Bagu, noted that physical examination
of goods and scanning at the Tin Can Island Port took longer than at the
Apapa Port.
He added that the situation was not limited to imports but also to exports as well.
Drop a comment.....thanks!
