In a communiqué it issued in Lagos, LCCI said that the trend was creating problems for importers and investors.
“Delays lead to huge demurrage paid by importers to shipping companies and terminal operators, and also affect the production cycle of manufacturers with implications for cost escalation,” the chamber said in the communique signed by its Director-General, Mr Muda Yusuf, and President, Mr Babatunde Ruwase.The chamber also expressed concern over the role of maritime police in the clearance of cargo in Lagos ports.
It added that the chamber had received complaints of undue delay in the issuance of Pre-Arrival Assessment Report to importers. It also urged the government to address the perennial gridlock on the Apapa area of Lagos which, it said, was negatively affecting the economy of Lagos State and the entire Nigeria.
