In this interview with LEADERSHIP, the chairman, House Committee on Ports and Harbour, Hon Garba Datti Mohammad is optimistic that efforts by the Nigerian Shippers’ Council and Nigerian Ports Authority will soon culminate in the reduction of high cost of doing business in Nigerian ports. He also spoke on the imposition of surcharge by international shipping agencies among others.
There was a meeting by stakeholders recently: Manufacturers Association Of Nigerian , Lagos Chamber Of Commerce and the Nigerian Shippers’ Council and all of them rejected this new imposed tax. So, we as parliament have received some petitions in respect of this imposition of surcharge. We are reaching out already to all the shipping lines and once the House reconvene, we will invite them. Although they are foreign companies, they operate within the Nigerian territory.
Like I told you earlier, all these international companies operating in Nigeria, most of them before coming here had already entered into treaties with Nigeria. Countries have conventions and treaties all over the world. Once the treaty is signed by all country and is domesticated by the National Assembly, it will become bidding on all member countries.
I think this government is doing a lot in that regard by putting so many things in place to make sure that all these charges are reduced so that we can encourage people to come and invest in this country. Cost of doing business in Nigeria will go down. The Nigerian Shippers Council and the Nigerian Ports Authority will make sure that the cost of doing business at the nation’s ports is reduced drastically.
